Palazzetto e Salita dei Borgia

this is the place were, according to the legend, juan borgia was seen alive for the last time. indeed the romantic era wanted vannozza’s vineyard, where the duke of gandia had his last supper, to have been right here, in san pietro in vincoli (you can spot a small balcony, just above the arch). lucrezia was also rumoured to have killed her lovers in that house. although none of this is true, the legend is still alive and the street here is still named ‘salita dei borgia’.
