	Pope Pius II - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Pope Pius II, born Enea Silvio Piccolomini (Latin Aeneas Sylvius), (October 18, 1405 – August 14, 1464) was Pope from 1458 until his death.
		Pius II, "whose character reflects almost every tendency of the age in which he lived", was born at Corsignano in the Sienese territory of a noble but decayed family.
		The bodies of Pope Pius II and his nephew, Pope Pius III (1503), were discovered in Sant'Andrea during the works to rebuild the floor, but buried soon later in an unknown place.

	Palazzo Piccolomini and Palazzo delle Papesse (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-21)
		The magnificent Palazzo Piccolomini, undisputedly Sienna’s finest Renaissance structure, is located on Via Banchi di Sotto, opposite the former Jesuit convent that today houses the University of Siena.
		It was built by Giacomo and Andrea Piccolomini Todeschini, nephews of Pope Pius II (Piccolomini) and was once the town house of members of this dynasty who grew to considerable power and influence from the 12 C when they began to act as bankers to the Papal Court in Rome.
		The elegant and well-proportioned three storey stone facade of the palazzo is decorated with two coats of arms of the Piccolomini family as well as by mullioned and guelph cross windows, surmounted by a cornice.

	A Pope and a Humanist - Pius II
		The marriage had been arranged by the Bishop of Siena, Enea Silvio Piccolomini: the emperor had the highest noble rank, but little money: his bride came from an insofar almost obscure kingdom, always threatened by the Castilian kings, but greatly enriched by its expanding colonial possessions.
		The five moons of the Piccolomini's coat of arms could hardly compete with the three moons of the Tolomei, maybe the richest bankers of Siena.
		Palazzo Piccolomini built by his nephews after the death of the pope, is located at one corner of Piazza del Campo, the main square of Siena, but its Florentine Renaissance façade does not interfere with the medieval aspect of the square.

		For Enea Silvio Piccolomini these are his 1454 'Türkenrede' (an attempt to muster German support against the Turks) and his 1458 letter-tract 'Germania' (a 140-page defence of papal rule over Germany).
		By contrast, the letter-tract employs a 'counter-presentive myth' based on partial citation of Tacitus (whom he had recently read): ancient Germani were uncouth barbarians, so their modern descendants have the church to thank for their state of civilization.
		With sensitivity to the political context, K. argues that the principal intended readers of Piccolomini's 'Germania' were not so much the Electors as the Italian cardinals who created him Pius II later that year; so Piccolomini moulds his 'imago' to suit both his argument and his audience.
