Synopsis

This book explores the concept of popes' families, exploring the little-known familial relationships of popes and their impact on papal history from the medieval period to the nineteenth century. The author challenges the traditional view of the pope as a solitary figure, removed from the world and its concerns, revealing instead a rich tapestry of family ties that shaped papal decisions and influenced the Church's development. Through meticulous research, the book uncovers the hidden stories of papal relatives, their ambitions, rivalries, and influence on the course of papal history, shedding new light on the complex interplay between family and power within the Catholic Church.
