By Ugo Boncompagni Ludovisi (1856–1935); Translated by Carol Cofone; Foreword by T. Corey Brennan and Rita Boncompagni Ludovisi
Rutgers University Press
The Twilight of Rome's Papal Nobility details the life of Agnese Borghese Boncompagni Ludovisi (1836–1920), one of the last matriarchs of the Borghese Boncompagni Ludovisi clan, a family which, through marriage, combined two of the most powerful papal households in Italian history. The book, written by her eldest son Ugo and originally published in 1921, details Agnese's personal and public life, as well as the many historical events that shaped the future of her family and her country during the Italian risorgimento period.
