This beautiful green and yellow coat was almost certainly created for the 1949 film Prince of Foxes, where Wanda Hendrix wore it as Camilla Verano. The costume was later seen in Lucrèce Borgia in 1953 on an extra, and in 1977, Maureen Kerwin wore the ensemble as Lucrèce Borgia in the second episode of Les Borgia ou le sang doré. In 2006, the costume still appeared in beautiful condition in Los Borgia on Maria Valverde as Lucrecia Borgia, and finally, in 2016, it was worn by Annabel Scholey as Contessina de’ Bardi in Medici: Masters of Florence. 

This costume has been used for 67 years and is likely still in use, which makes it the longest continual usage of a costume that Recycled Movie Costumes has been able to record.

Have you watched the other Borgia show I think called Borgia? And if so is the Lucrezia and cesera relationship even close to as good as Francis and hollidays portrayal?

Hi! I haven’t watched the other shows, from what I’ve heard their relationship isn’t as integral to the show, and doesn’t have a consistant arc like on The Borgias.

Anyone who watched the other Borgia shows can confirm/deny?

#there’s Borgia and Los Borgias I think #François and Holliday are so talented and have so much chemistry #I can’t imagine another show being as good #and I love how their relationship arc #parallels their personal arcs #like the more lines they cross in their personal lives #the more lines they cross between platonic and romantic love

A lock of the hair of Lucrezia Borgia in the Ambrosian Library in Milan, Italy

«Pinacoteca Ambrosiana, Milano.

In una piccola teca è conservato un tesoro.

Un garbuglio di sottili fili gialli che formano un intreccio ad anello verso l’estremità. Niente di che all'apparenza, forse solo una reliquia; e invece se vai a fondo scopri che dietro c'è un mondo. Una storia d'amore bellissima quanto proibita, tra un dotto umanista e una ragazza tormentata. Per viverla bisogna spostarci un po' più ad est, e tornare indietro nel tempo, tanti e tanti anni fa.

Ferrara 1502. Quel giorno, alla corte ducale, erano attesi giovani poeti e letterati.

Per il ragazzo era un'occasione d'oro. Poteva finalmente mettersi in mostra e farsi notare dalla duchessa. Se tutto fosse andato come sperava, avrebbe avuto anche l'occasione di entrare nella sua cerchia ristretta di letterati. Lei amava gli artisti, e ovviamente far parte del suo "circolo" era garanzia di fama e ricchezza. Così giunse il suo momento. Il ragazzo entrò in sala e la vide. Conosceva la duchessa solo per sentito dire, e che fosse molto bella lo sapeva già, gliel'avevano ripetuto un milione di volte. Quello che lo sbalordì e lo lasciò senza parole fu che fosse così bella. Il poeta ci mise un po' di tempo a presentarsi, letteralmente folgorato dal bagliore della giovane duchessa. I suoi capelli biondi splendevano, illuminati dai raggi del sole che filtravano dalle grandi vetrate del palazzo. Già quei capelli, come si può dimenticarli? Non ci riuscì, e continuò a pensare a lei anche le ore successive all'incontro. Anche i giorni dopo. Anche le settimane dopo.

La duchessa era il suo pensiero fisso. Si invaghì così tanto da giungere a cambiare la struttura della sua prima opera che stava per uscire in quel periodo. La modificò sulla base di quel suo nuovo invaghimento. Un uomo che apriva il suo cuore verso l'amore più sincero e appassionato. E quando l'opera, chiamata "Gli Asolani", uscì, il poeta ne regalò subito una copia alla duchessa, che rimase positivamente colpita. Cominciarono a frequentarsi sempre più spesso, i due innamorati clandestini, e intrapresero una relazione platonica ma appassionata.

Poi però arrivò la peste e il poeta fu costretto a scappare dalla città. Lei rimase. Non poteva la duchessa abbandonare il suo popolo decimato. E tanto platonicamente quanto si erano frequentati di persona, così iniziarono un rapporto epistolare a distanza fatto di bellissime lettere d'amore. Lui però aveva ancora quel pensiero fisso: i capelli di lei, e glielo scrisse. Alla fine lei non mancò di compiere un gesto fortemente simbolico: si tagliò una ciocca dei suoi amati capelli e la inviò insieme a una lettera. Quando lui la ricevette, la tenne stretta a se, e la volle conservare per sempre all'interno di uno scrigno, che ormai era il più prezioso di tutti i tesori che possedeva. Quello che conteneva le lettere d'amore della duchessa.

I due non si rividero mai più ma continuarono a scriversi ancora per sedici anni. Poi lei morì giovanissima e lui divenne Cardinale. Uomo di chiesa e personaggio di spicco dell'Umanesimo italiano, famoso ancora oggi con il nome di Pietro Bembo.

Come quella ciocca di capelli sia giunta a Milano, non lo sa nessuno. Ma forse un motivo c'è.

Se la guardi all’interno della piccola teca, noti che è ancora perfettamente conservata, liscia e fresca come se fosse stata appena recisa.

Ecco, pare che in alcune notti, se osservi bene attraverso le finestre della Pinacoteca Ambrosiana, scorgi un bagliore. Una luce intensa che proviene dalla stanza dove è conservata la bionda treccia. Dicono che sia proprio la duchessa, che arriva e legge le lettere del suo amato Pietro Bembo, non prima di aver pettinato la propria ciocca di capelli.

Poi se ne va, svanisce in un educato silenzio, ma felice perché si è sentita amata. Lei, la discussa e tormentata duchessa di Ferrara, Lucrezia Borgia»

omg i read blood and beauty and its sequel last week bc it had been on my reading list for months!!!! and is this a safe space where i can just say that it hit the nail on the head for all of the borgias without unnecessarily vilifying one or the other (i mean basically considering how most writers hold some vendetta against juan) and i loved how u could really see lucrezia's growth from her childhood innocence to being forced to mature and grow up AND obsessed w any media that portrays cesare as ferocious and sharp and ruthless and juan finally got his flowers bc they obv showed his flaws but without making him the big bad evil when instead he also started off a kid but ended up being dragged to the bottom of the river by his father's ambitions 😔

i wish the 2nd book had progressed a little further to lucrezia's childbirth bed death so the story could come full circle and sometimes the pov switching was confusing for me but aside from that, the borgias will always be famous to meeeeeeeee and i love a good book that portrays them well!

ive been on the hunt for more borgia-centric books so if u have any recs......... <3

zaynab omg hello!!!!! i was kinda waiting for someone to talk to me about this book because it's my absolute #1 favorite historical fiction book <3

i'm so happy you enjoyed reading it! the way miss dunant brilliantly humanized the borgia family by creating striking and compelling narratives for them was truly *chef's kiss*. it's safe to say that her portrayal of them has even made her my favorite author as well (and made me want to check out her other work, lol). the way she made them so sympathetic is truly admirable to me, which is also a standout aspect of the book as we manage to develop a deep understanding of their motivations and complexities through her nuanced portrayal, you know? i say it could've been done more when it came to lucrezia, as she is truly one of the most compelling figures in history (and my all-time favorite). i'm not criticizing dunant for lucrezia's portrayal!! but it's more like i wished she added more of lucrezia's lore...but alas! other books did her more justice, i must say!

my favorite theme of the book is the immense love the pope has for his children. the way [spoiler] juan was taken too soon from him is profoundly melancholic and it added emotional depth to the story and it highlighted the power of a father's love and the devastating impact of losing a beloved child. also, YEAH, the book felt like a breath of fresh air when it came to juan borgia! he was unfairly demonized with no reliable narrative and mostly used as a prop to hype up cesare at his expense *yawns*… but dunant made him an individual, likable character in the book, countering the unjust treatment he always receives. her portrayal of him allowed us to discover the vulnerability and sensitivity that lie beneath his outwardly arrogant and handsome demeanor. we really can't help but feel deep empathy and pity for him as we read about his inner struggles and emotional depth. he became a truly compelling and sympathetic figure within the borgia family, especially when his death is met with cruelty and brutality. the tragic nature of his demise evokes an even stronger sense of empathy and sorrow in the narrative of juan losing himself and being overwhelmed by the heavy task he was entrusted with…

and cesare, of course, was portrayed as that sulking, bitter, cruel but incredibly intelligent, cunning, and charming guy! lowkey a recurring theme for him, but the flavor in making him extra dark in the slayest way possible made me insane in a very positive way! you should watch "los borgia (2006)" for a delicious portrayal of cesare (and personally, i think it's the most historically accurate).

more books? i'd recommended emma lucas's 'lucrezia borgia' and maria bellonci's 'life and times of lucrezia borgia' - both are biographies btw! their work is a solid read, very unbiased without any manipulation of the letters about/between the siblings to push certain narratives (hello sarah bradford!!), well-researched, sheds light on the family's complex relationships and their rise to power, and is highly sympathetic to all of them. you won't be disappointed!!

for historical fiction, i'd recommend mario puzo's 'the family' ...you will never be disappointed after all it's by the dude who wrote the godfather!

i hope you enjoy them <333 i'll be waiting for your feedback :)
