Excerpt from Littell's Living Age, Vol. 52: October, November, December, 1885 In his presence, Vittoria said to retirement in the Cloister of St. Paul; Above all persons he loved the Marchesa di Pescara, whose divine spirit attracted him strongly, and who felt the warmest attachment for him. He possesses many letters from her, full of the purest and the sweetest love, such as is nourished in such hearts. He addressed to her many sonnets, full of intellect and ten der feeling. She often left Viterbo and other places of summer residence, and came to Rome solely to see Michael Angelo.
