Talk:Baldassare Castiglione

Untitled

Hi great article, but it is unreferenced with no external links. I was rather alarmed at this considering how many other websites use this exact article for their biography on Castiglione. Just wondering. Clyde Miller 18:07, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

Someone want to explain what the "Sacco" is instead of just having rationale behind it?Rohawn 07:05, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

I added (Sacco di Roma) after the Sack of Rome. That seemed less harsh than changing each instance of Sacco to "Sack"; not a bad solution as well. --Stomme 18:49, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Year of birth - 1468 or 1478?

I did a quick search and found many references to each year. I am quite sure they are not both correct. If someone could nail this down, it would be a great service to Wikipedia. Thanks. Chris the speller 01:47, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

How to spell his first name?

The first line of the article and the title seem to differ on the spelling of Castiglione's first name. Fix? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.74.15.119 (talk) 19:08, 6 May 2008 (UTC) IT IS 78

Vandalism

This article needs more attentive adult editors. The vandalism is constant, and vandals' spelling has been corrected without regard to their fake insertions.--Wetman (talk) 05:50, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

A portrait of Baldassare Castiglione (1478–1529), completed by Raphael c. 1514–15. Castiglione was an Italian courtier, diplomat, soldier and author during the Renaissance. Among his writings is The Book of the Courtier, which is framed around a series of conversations between courtiers at the court of Guidobaldo da Montefeltro and addresses the constitution of a perfect courtier and a perfect lady.Painting: Raphael

She was 'played' to her husband...?

The third paragraph in the Biography section (beginning with 'The court of Urbino') ends with a confusing sentence as follows: "She was played to her husband though his invalid state meant they could never have children."

I get that there was some sort of health problem with the husband that prevented conception, but this sentence sounds like it's just been through a blender. Can the author clear this up? Nachobidnez (talk) 01:00, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
