I have just finished another book, but this one was not on the reading list. My wife picked it up as a whim in the bookstore and thought I might be interested in it. The Montfeltro Conspiracy by Marcello Simonetta was an excellent read on an interesting subject. For those well versed in Renaissance Italy, it may be a more worthwhile find. For me, it was a well-written account of a perilous time in Italian history complete with murder, conspiracy, civil unrest, political survival and church corruption. Ah, Italia!!! I highly recommend this volume of history. I honestly loved everything about the book, including the paper, the binding, how refreshing after The House.
