'The king of Naples, says Guicciardini, 'though he dissembled his grief, told the queen, his wife, with tears tears which he was wont to check even at the death of his own sons that a Pope had been made who would prove most pestilent to the whole Christian commonwealth. The young Cardinal Giovanni de' Medici, again, showed his discernment of the situation by whispering in the Conclave to his kinsman Cibo: 'We are in the wolf's jaws; he will gulp us down, unless we make our flight good. Besides, there was in Italy a widely spread repugnance to the Spanish intruders Marrani, or renegade Moors, as they were properly called who crowded the Vatican and threatened to possess the land of their adoption like conquerors.
Again on September 9, 1916, the Russians gained some ground west of Shypoth after attacking at many points in the southern Carpathians. The heights east of the Cibo Valley, about three miles west of Mount Kapul and just within the Hungarian line, were also occupied by Russian forces. Attacks again occurred in the Mount Kapul sector on September 10 and 11, 1916.
That meant a few days more in Paris on the next visit. They, too, truly regretted their friend's luck, saying, on separating: "I very much fear for him," said Cibo. "Such luck at gaming, the night before a duel bad sign, very bad sign." "So much the more so that some one was there," replied Pietrapertosa, making with his fingers the sign which conjures the jettutura.
"All that now remains for us," concluded Cibo, who had brought back the news, "is to draw up our official report." At that instant, and as the witnesses were preparing to reenter the house for the last formality, an incident occurred, very unexpected, which was to transform the encounter, up to that time so simple, into one of those memorable duels which are talked over at clubs and in armories.
If Pietrapertosa and Cibo had ceased since morning to believe in the jettatura of the "some one" whom neither had named, it must be acknowledged that they were very unjust, for the good fortune of having gained something wherewith to swell their Parisian purses was surely naught by the side of this to have to discuss with the Cavals, the Machaults and other professionals the case, almost unprecedented, in which they were participants.
The models described above were taken by Baccio to the garden of Cardinal Ridolfi at S. Agata on Monte Cavallo, where his lordship was entertaining Cibo, Salviati, and Messer Baldassarre da Pescia to dinner, they having assembled together there in order to settle all that was necessary in the matter of the tombs.
When Lorenzo il Magnifico died at Careggi in April 1492, he left seven children: Giovanni, who became Leo X; Piero, who succeeded him and went into exile; Giuliano, who returned; Lucrezia, who married Giacomo Salviati, and was grandmother of Cosimo I; Contessina, who married Piero Ridolfi; Maddalena, who married Francesco Cibo; and Maria, whom Michelangelo is said to have loved.
Magliana: a big farm; one takes a minute in the soaking filthy yard, among manure and litter, to recognise that this dilapidated, leprous-looking building is a palace, with mullioned fifteenth-century windows and coats of arms and inscriptions of Cibo and Riario popes.
"With whom?" asked the wounded man. "Alone, that time," replied Cibo, with an eagerness in which Boleslas distinguished an intention to deceive him. "And Madame Maitland?" "She was there, too, with her husband," said Pietrapertosa, heedless of Cibo's warning glances, "and all Rome besides," adding: "Do you know the engagement of Ardea and little Hafner is public?
