Sacrum Militare Oratorium....

sono Agnostico ma sono Romano e c'è un legame imprescindibile "cor Papa".

Personalmente credo che si debba necessariamente Prendere una posizione altrimenti la neutralità favorirà sempre l'oppressore, e mai la vittima. Blocchereste uno stupro con la forza o lascereste che lo stupratore continui?

Il silenzio incoraggia sempre il torturatore mai il torturato....restaurarsi, e punire fin da principio con severità, anziché aprirsi ai barbari e alla loro cultura del terrore, eviterebbe futuri scenari apocalittici. Servirebbe forse un Giuliano della Rovere...

...Matrona inimica | Te quaerit ad arma....

Apollo

1 artist unknown, Roman copy (c120CE) of a Greek bronze after Leochares (c350BCE) marble 224cm

2 Marcantonio Raimondi (1470/82-1534) Italian The Apollo Belvedere from the Vatican his left hand resting on the tree trunk around which coils a python (c1510–27) engraving

3 Albrecht Durer (1471-1528) German Adam and Eve (1507) oil on panel, each 209x81cm

A metmuseum.org The Apollo Belvedere was discovered near Rome in the late fifteenth century. Possibly a second-century marble copy of a bronze original by the Greek sculptor Leochares, the statue was immediately appreciated as a masterpiece and showered with praise. Probably once in the private collection of Cardinal Giuliano della Rovere (later Pope Julius II, r. 1503–13), it was moved to the Vatican in 1509 and placed, in 1511, in the Cortile del Belvedere, from which it derives its name. Raimondi's print became an important vehicle through which knowledge of the statue was transmitted far beyond the Vatican. He is famous for his many engravings after the designs of Raphael, including images such as the Judgment of Paris (19.74.1), scenes that, like the Apollo, illustrate Renaissance interest in classical antiquity and mythology. Here, Raimondi's mastery for replicating the effects of light on marble produces a convincing impression of the statue's form. Many artists incorporated the Apollo's much-lauded pose into their own work. Albrecht Dürer reverses the position of the figure's limbs and Apollo becomes Adam, reaching for the fruited branch offered by Eve in the 1504 engraving . A similar figure of Apollo, whose outstretched arm grasps—too late—a fleeing nymph, appears in the 1625 marble group Apollo and Daphne by the Roman Baroque sculptor Gian Lorenzo Bernini (1598–1680).

B Johann Winckelmann (1717-68) Germany Of all the works of antiquity that have escaped destruction, the statue of Apollo represents the highest ideal of art. (1755)

As he masterminded these desperate and haphazard plans, Girolamo incurred the displeasure of the entire papal court and the permanent enmity of his cousin Cardinal Giuliano della Rovere. The cardinal had argued against the Pazzi conspiracy, but he had been overruled. Now, in the wake of the disaster, the pope heeded Cardinal Giuliano's vehement protest against Girolamo's fruitless actions. The count desisted, but the rift within the papal family was already widening. Girolamo realized that it was time to regain the pope's favor by producing an heir.

tbh its not even all of the book she just REALLY hates this one guy she just has a vitriolic hostility towards Girolamo Riario....

listen. listen, there's a kind of intimacy in having a dedicated rivalry, okay. who else is going to know you like this!!! also it's funny

Ascanio Maria Sforza: la parabola politica di un cardinale-principe del Rinascimento, Marco Pellegrini

Julius II: The Warrior Pope, Christine Shaw

and on della rovere’s soldier comment:

Popes, Cardinals and War: The Military Church in Renaissance and Early Modern Europe, D.S. Chambers

and finally! regarding the delightful Mess of political-family relationships, including the marriage comment (altho the montefeltro family that giovanni married into did have sforza family ties, since giovanna's mother was battista sforza, but this is about the more immediate alliance based relationship and della rovere's hand in the rejection of a milanese match for his brother. and. this is not even remotely a serious comic, but now I am once again thinking about insular all these families are. the fucking medicis are here too, if you go half a step to the left on della rovere's family tree)

Julius II: The Warrior Pope, Christine Shaw

Giulio II, Il papa del Rinascimento, Giulio Busi (Bianca Maria Visconti is Ascanio's mom. btw)

panel inserts of the cards they're playing with are all from the Visconti-Sforza tarot deck! (I used public domain scans/photos for the comic itself)

ko-fi!⭐ bsky ⭐ pixiv ⭐ pillowfort ⭐ cohost ⭐ cara.app

#weeping. ascanio's dialogue covers up della rovere's sleeve collar. i spent all that time drawing details on it and FOR WHAT #(it was fun)#there was another deleted bit where ascanio has some petty line like 'i bet arguing makes you hard' but then i realized #that's something that lucullus would probably say to crassus and also i need to set that line up for ascanio #we gotta. we gotta character build (lays down face in the ground) we have to provide the character set up for it #it's really more of a line for cesare to drop at some point over how much rodrigo and ascanio argued #shout out to the time rodrigo threatened to throw ascanio into the tiber river or that time ascanio like. decided to physically get into #a fight with juan borgia #and they were still gambling partners after that????? damn okay. sometimes the vice chancellor can be (checks note) im not finishing #that statement #komiks tag #italian renaissance tag #ascanio sforza #giuliano della rovere #i WILL get a relationship dynamic tag for them once i can figure out something punchy and fun. anyway!#ehgh. I NEED. to go to milan. and go thru the archives. let me in. LET ME INNNNNNNNN

wethepope:

He had heard talk of this young man. They called him devout, they called him worthy. And yet it was not the young man’s faith that he regarded as such a strong factor in the necessity of having him here in the Holy City. There was more to it than what met the eye. As all of his plans he set out with a determination of expansion. And if they were able to tame the wild in the Americas. They would surely be able to make friends with the men that this one came from. He was eager to know secrets, eager to know what it was that drove them. And if they would convert. Very much like the church of many, many generations prior he sought of the conversion vigorously. The more friends the safer he would be. His logic seemed to be intelligent. And yet his insides were waning with fear. He allowed the young man a private audience. Something his son was quite against. 'He could kill you,' Cesare had said. And yet he was more than determined to allow the man to believe he trusted him, he was honored to have him not only as a guest to the Holy City but also as a friend. He had the young man escorted once he had heard about his arrival, offered the finest rooms in the Vatican, made to feel like a king whereas he knew that he was only a messenger. Shooting the messenger brought war. Surely opening his arms wide for him would bring friendship. He sent for the man. Eager to make his acquitance, to bestow on him a cardinals hat and make him apart of this Holy Church. They were to celebrate a Roman dance with he and the Vikings with the cardinals ; he would be Odin and Athelstan a wolf. The church was always in need of more souls to save, more souls to be added on. He couldn't feel he really trusted the cardinals, other than Ascanio Sforza, a mild mannered well-spoken man, yet assured of his family at least, of sweet Lucrezia, his angel of heaven, as well as cardinal fighter Cesare, and soldier Juan. And Borgia was always in need of more allies. Cesare didn't trust Ascanio's mellow manner, liked Giuliano Della Rovere's cunning, while knowing he was their enemy.

Athelstan and the other Vikings had arrived here in Rome, and heard about the Pope’s request to speak to him face-to-face. Athelstan discussed about this curious but not unwelcome proposal, with the Vikings, and more so with Ragnar. Eventually, they drew the conclusion that this may be something that could benefit both parties. Of course, it seemed logical that Athelstan was to be the voice, the person to evoke peace between both parties. He surmised this was because he could speak English perfectly, along with several other languages. He misses being with Ragnar and his family he grew to love in Kattegat, yet knowing they were still present, he touching his arm ring. The Vatican palace that he was escorted to, was grand and exquisitely elaborate ; glowing golden in its illumination -- sunlight streaming through the window ( warming his body of hollow blood sickness ), and so was the room he had been generously granted for his stay here. It had white branches of trees by the window. It additionally held indescribably beautiful artworks, like men with wide bird wings, with feathers. Some of them reminded him a bit of the ones he learnt about in the court of Charlemagne. He paused for a moment to admire them before the Pope’s escorts kindly urged him to continue on. He finally reached the throne room which the Pope was residing in. He paused when he was a few feet away from the throne steps. Kneeling down to the ground, he bows his head respectfully towards the Pope.

“Holy Father. My name is Athelstan. It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance.”

"And we find it a pleasure to meet you, Athelstan," Rodrigo says in his sonorous voice. They speak about alliance, he handing him a red elaborate hat, and Athelstan thinks a cardinal would surely be different to a monk, as he touches the felt, yet both were with god.
