About the Book

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 as Ricordi di mia madre (Memories of My Mother), details Agnese's personal life: her childhood, her married life, the raising of her children, and the years leading up to her death. It also covers her public life and the many historical events that shaped the future of her family and her country. In the book's pages, Ugo draws on his own memories, as well as diaries and letters written by Agnese, to give us insight into the years of the Italian risorgimento, when Italy finally achieved unification and, as a consequence, the Roman Catholic church lost much of its power. This first-ever English translation by Carol Cofone, and featuring introductory remarks from HSH Princess Rita Boncompagni Ludovisi and T. Corey Brennan, provides an invaluable first-person account of this history and culture in a story that is rich, complex, and increasingly relevant for today's world.
