It was an on set picture. I took the pictures from an italian forum.

In a mini-series "Mistresses: The Power of Women" (2005), the second episode was dedicated to Giulia Farnese, played by Cordelia Wege. Here are some promo pictures I found.

And who's gonna play Rodrigo?

In that episode of the series? I haven't seen it as I was living in Africa at the time. But I've set up an alert if there ever is a re-run. So let's see. There were three episodes:

(1) The King's Mistress - about French King Ludwig XIV. (Sylvester Groth) and Madame de Montespan (Suzanne Anbeh) set in the late 1600s/early 1700s

(2) The Pope's Mistress - about Alexander VI. (Hannes Hellmann), Vanozza Cattanei (Claudia Wenzel) and Giulia Farnese (Cordelia Wege), also there is Giulia's husband Orso Orsini (Alexander Schubert) and her brother Alessandro (Julian Weigand)

(3) The Sultan's Mistress - set in the Topkapi Serail, Istanbul in the 1500s. About Sultan Süleyman (Uwe Bohm) and a slave from the Ukraine who has not always been a slave apparently but must have been of lower nobility because what he valued most was her education which put her above all other women in his harem, Roxalana (Sólveig Arnarsdóttir).


Otherwise, Stanley being handsome:

And another creepy promotional picture of Isolda in "The Capsule" with Clémence Poésy. Seems like everyone's bowing down before a third girl who wears shoes designed by Vivienne Westwood. Interesting.

Awesome set of pics, as always Nina.

[Nikki K]

I was delighted to see a shot released of Martha (and Isolda - see Lucrezia thread second to last page) that I had never seen before! I Marta. And I'll miss David terribly.

Perhaps I'll look for some "Los Borgia" (2006) movie stills later unless we get more 2x10 promo pics.

[BL.Arinna_1982]

I'm gonna try to find "Los Borgias" with english subs at least. I can't remember did I asked you from where you are, Nina? Are you a European as well?

[Nikki K]

I lived in Upstate New York for the last years.

Paz Vega was the best Caterina Sforza ever, hands down!












Meanwhile Lucrezia, played by Maria Valverde...











Cesare and Lucrezia snogging:








Cesare & his brothers:





Giulia Farnese played by Cate Saunders

[BL.Arinna_1982]

I like that Caterina!

[Nikki K]

She was bloody awesome and really hated Cesare.
I liked that CL were kissing long and not brother/sisterly at all in front of a crowd.

Remember Maria from episode two? Does that mean Micheletto is at least bisexual? I mean he strangled her while he slept with her if I remember that correctly.
