I am a very determined woman who wanted to change the way the govt. ran! :)

Throughout my entire life, music has always been a huge part of who I am. I enjoy listening to choral and organ music, as well instrumental music. Being a patorn of the fine arts I embraced all types of fine arts.
My Favortie Song: Ricercar II
This piece was writte by Girolamo Cavazzon, who was a famous composer. He also lived in Mantua where we first met.
Being world famous I felt a sort of pride that such a remarkable man came from my kingdom.
Plays I like!
With life in Mantua life became somewhat boring. Until I found a new hobby. The preforming arts. Over time I came to find that my favorite play was The Marescalco This play was set in Mantua and the plot was one of mystery and everyday life!
Books
Some of my favortie books are : Greek philosophy, Latin classics(Ovid, Pliny), Chivalric romances, Books of music, Theatrical comedies, Religious sermons, Saints Lives, Biographies, and Prophecies.
Heros and Who I'd like to meet
Marchetto Cara, and Bartolmoe Tromboncino. Marchetto Cara is a famous composer, lutist, and singer. He also remained in Mantua throughout his life. Bartolomoe Tromboncino is another famous composer who was well-respected at the time.
I have always respected and admired the famous painter Leonardo Da Vinci. After painting my portairt, his work continued to inspire me, and helped me understand myself, and the work I continue to do.
