Isabella d'Este's voice comes alive in the book

The Marchesa by Sarah Dunant.  D'Este was one of the first female art collectors and art patrons of her time and the first woman to have her own studiolo (studio) during the Italian Renaissance. She was known as an unstoppable ruler, trendsetter and accomplished manipulator. What a story!
