True.

True. Way too hairy.
Actually, Sancia did say that he was "sweetness itself," but that he just lacked Juan's vigor. Good thing she didn't stick around for Juan's syphilis. Gonzaga was a good husband. True or False? __________________

Well, allegedly. Then again from everything I read I always thought that Isabella d'Este was super jealous of Lucrezia and a bit cray cray with her arts patronage, while her husband was dumb as a rock. So, who knows. I was always a bit doubtful of it but it's possible. It seemed to be a subject of gossip anyway.
On her brother's papal tomb a statue of Giulia Farnese embodies 'Prudence' while another one of his mistress Silvia Ruffini embodies 'Justice'. True or False? __________________

False? I looked it up and they say that while Giulia probably represents Justice, Alessandro's mother is probably Prudence. Or did I get that wrong?
Rodrigo disapproved of Giulia's choice in a husband. True or False? __________________

Well, it is false – Giulia is indeed Justice but Silvia is Prudence. His mother, Giovanna Farnese (as played by Austrian actress Babsie Steger on 'Borgia') is not in the sculpture, I saw that website too but they got that part wrong.
False, I'd say. Giulia's brother Alessandro became Pope Paul III and eventually excommunicated Henry VIII. True or False? __________________

True.
Oh, so I did get it right? And also wrong. Got Giulia right, but not the mother. Ascanio Sforza died of the plague. True or False? __________________

True
Pope Julius 11 (Della Rovere) had Micheletto tortured on the rack for days to get him to say Cesare killed Juan and Alfonso of Aragon, but he refused & remained loyal to his friend, saying that the dead pope Alexander was responsible. True or False? Quote:
