Rape of Fano
text:
The rape of Fano is an alleged scandal that would have taken place on 26 or 27 May 1537 in the eponymous city, involving the warlord Pier Luigi Farnese who raped the Bishop of the city, Cosimo Gheri, during an inspection of the Marche fortresses. Its historical veracity is matter of debate. The event is recorded by the Florentine historian Benedetto Varchi in the 16th book of his Storia fiorentina. Nevertheless, a letter by Pietro Bembo, dated 5 January 1538, seems to confirm Varchi's account.
