The Prince’s Body: Vincenzo Gonzaga and Renaissance Medicine - I Tatti Studies in Italian Renaissance History

Using four notorious moments in the life of Duke Vincenzo Gonzaga of Mantua, Valeria Finucci explores changing early modern concepts of sexuality, reproduction, beauty, and aging. She deftly marries salacious tales with historical analysis to tell a broader story of Italian Renaissance cultural adjustments and obsessions.
