 Pawn and Wife, The First Chapter of a Planned Biography of Vittoria Colonna
The first meeting between the two children was a fleeting episode in their early lives, as the alliances of their respective families shifted several times before twice, first in 1507, and a second time, in 1509, it was in the interest of Fabrizio Colonna to secure the d'Avalos boy for his daughter and himself.
He too had a real cunning, but it was the cunning born of an instinct to win out, to dominate in an immediate situation, which served him well as captain, because he was, most unlike her, unable to hesitate in his responses to the actions and words of others.
Finally, the death of Fabrizio Colonna on March 18, 1520, removed a psychological barrier between the two: Pescara was almost immediately made Grand Constable of Naples in his formidable father-in-law's place; Fabrizio's death also freed his daughter to reveal the force of her character.

 Edward Cheney : "Letter of Beatrice Cenci, with Remarks on Her Portrait by Guido."
and co-heiress of the last Constable Colonna, divided the unentailed portion of the picture-gallery with her two sisters, the Princess Rospigliosi and the Duchess Lante, and to her this celebrated portrait was adjudged.
The Colonna family was closely allied to that of the Cenci ; and it is not probable that a spurious portrait was suffered to pass in their palace for an original.
The portrait, moreover, bears a strong resemblance to the description given of the unhappy Beatrice in the various manuscript accounts of her fate, and the tradition in the Colonna family is of sufficient weight to justify us in entertaining a belief which is so peculiarly agreeable.
