Resurrecting The Marchesa
One of the best known historical Studiolos, the first for a woman, was designed and built by Isabella d'Este, marchioness of Mantua (1474-1539). Throughout her life Isabella was an icon of design and fashion, whose style influence was felt throughout Italy and beyond. In this exciting illustrated lecture, novelist and critic Sarah Dunant, author of The Marchesa, will tell her extraordinary life story. We hope you will join us.
