Capponi wears black and white, his family's armorial colors. His right index finger partially conceals the medal he holds, revealing the legend SORTE (fate or fortune)--evoking the young man's future. In the mid-1550s, Lodovico fell in love with Maddalena Vettori, whom Duke Cosimo de Medici had intended as a wife for one of his cousins. After years of opposition, the duke relented, and Lodovico and Maddalena were married with lavish celebrations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Giles\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/27\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781913875350\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 72\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.45h x 7.72w x 0.55d","brand":"Daniel Mendelsohn, Aimee Ng","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45130964631733,"sku":"9781913875350","price":21.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_7503e343-a640-4335-9d77-50b53cba5e07.jpg?v=1740460102","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/bronzinos-lodovico-capponi-9781913875350","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
