Bracciano
Bracciano
is dominated by the castle built between 1470 and
1485 by Napoleone Orsini and his son Gentile
Virginio. In 1497 Giovanni di Candia, son of Pope
Alexander VI Borgia (1492-1503), repeatedly
attacked the castle but the Orsini repelled the
assailants and so they did again a few years later
when Cesare Borgia, another son of the pope, made
another attempt to take the castle.

wedding. Reports had suggested that Beckham had
been given permission to attend the showbiz
wedding of the year with his pop-singer wife
