After turbulent years in Rome's papal court, she moved to the Romagnol province of Forli. Following her husband's assassination, she ruled Italy's crossroads with iron will, martial strength, political savvy-and an icon's fashion sense. In finally losing her lands to the Borgia family, she put up a resistance that inspired all of Europe and set the stage for her progeny-including Cosimo de Medici-to follow her example to greatness.A rich evocationof the Renaissance, The Tigress of Forli reveals Caterina Riario Sforza as a brilliant and fearless ruler and a tragic but unbowed figure.
