Question
A ruler of this city titles a book by Marcello Simonetta, which uses a codebook written by Cicco Simonetta to argue that he and Sixtus IV masterminded the Pazzi Conspiracy. After succeeding his brother Oddantonio, a ruler of this city expanded a dukedom created by Pope Eugene IV by supposedly being undefeated in battle. Because he possessed a massive library, a ruler of this city was nicknamed the “Light of Italy.” A Mantuan duchess of this city, Elisabeta Gonzaga, leads discussions of sprezzatura in Baldassare Castiglione’s (“CAH-steel-YOH-nay’s”) Book of the Courtier. After a jousting tournament, a ruler of this city had the bridge of his nose flattened, as seen in a diptych (“DIP-tick”) of him in red facing his wife Battista Sforza. For 10 points, the condottiere Federico Montefeltro ruled what city, whose lavish Ducal Palace houses paintings by its native son Raphael? ■END■
