Note *169 — Chapter L

For the life of Vittoria Colonna, see Campori, Vittoria Colonna in Atti e Mem. della Dep. di St. Pat. dell'Emilia, N.S., vol. III., (Modena, 1878). Luzio, V.C., in Rivista St. Mantovana (1885), vol. I., p. 1 et seq. On her mother, Agnese di Montefeltro, cf. Casini-Tordi, in Giornale Vittoria Colonna, vol. I., No. 10. On her poems, cf. Mazzone, V.C. e il suo Canzoniere (1900). She was born at Marino in 1492. She was married 27th December, 1509, in Ischia, to Ferrante d'Avalos Marchese di Pescara. Miss Maud Jerrold has published recently (Dent, 1907) a work in English on Vittoria Colonna which should be excellent.
