«Lucrecia Borgia, la hija del Papa» is the biographical novel by Dario Fo, published by Siruela in paperback (274 pages, in Spanish).
Dario Fo fictionalizes the life of Lucrezia Borgia, daughter of Pope Alexander VI, moving away from the black legend to show her in her Renaissance context: three arranged marriages, Cesare Borgia, courtly intrigues and a love of art. The author turns his tribute to his wife into a human, everyday portrait of Lucrezia.
It is volume 292 of Siruela's Nuevos Tiempos collection. Second edition of 2014, translated from the Italian by Carlos Gumpert.
For readers of biographical and historical fiction interested in the Italian Renaissance and the Borgia family.
Dario Luigi Angelo Fo was an Italian playwright, actor, theatre director, stage designer, songwriter, political campaigner for the Italian left wing and the recipient of the 1997 Nobel Prize in Literature. In his time he was "arguably the most widely performed contemporary playwright in world theatre". Much of his dramatic work depends on improvisation and comprises the recovery of "illegitimate" forms of theatre, such as those performed by giullari and, more famously, the ancient Italian style of commedia dell'arte.
