Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Giulia Farnese" in English language version.
Only the clearest proof of his debauching Giulia (sister of a cardinal) can, in our view, make good the accusation. Such clear evidence has not been found. The open Giulia accusation was not contemporary, and it is absurd to make anything of Roman gibe that Giulia was 'the bride of Christ.' It was typical Roman scandal-mongering.
Some scholars have been sought to clear Giulia on the ground that Lucrezia-who has been made respectable by research-remained her friend to the end, and that Giulia's husband, Orsino Orsini, built a chapel to her honored memory.
