House of Fiammetta
House of Fiammetta
Dwelling attributed to the courtesan Fiammetta Michaelis, who had Cesare Borgia among her lovers.
This 15th-century building, on two floors, with an altana and a front porch supported by columns and pillars, has traditionally been attributed to the Florentine courtesan Fiammetta Michaelis, who had Cesare Borgia among her lovers.
In his testament, issued on February 19, 1512 (date of his death), he states his relationship with the son of Alexander VI by signing as "Fiammetta del Duca de Valentino".
After several changes of ownership at the end of the 19th century, the house belonged to the Bennicelli family, who restored it at the beginning of the 20th century.
