Topic: Enea Silvio de Piccolomini

	Pope Pius II
		He was the eldest of eighteen children of Silvio de' Piccolomini and Vittoria Forteguerra.
		Piccolomini, however, soon left the service of the impecunious Capranica for more remunerative employment with Nicodemo della Scala, Bishop of Freising, with Bartolomeo, Bishop of Novara, and with Cardinal Albergati.
		Not only was he constantly solicitous for the peace of Christendom against Islam, but he also instituted a commission for the reform of the Roman court, seriously endeavoured to restore monastic discipline, and defended the doctrine of the Church against the writings of Reginald Peacock, the former Bishop of Chichester.

		The appropriation of 'die kleine Schrift des grossen Römers' by nationalist and national socialist ideologues in the twentieth century is notorious; its central place in the politicization of ancient German history at the turn of the sixteenth century is also familiar to students of humanism.
		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).

	Thais - Piccolomini
		The commissioner was Cardinal Francesco Piccolomini Todeschini, the future Pious III, who with this work, wanted to render homage to the memory of his uncle, Enea Silvio Piccolomini, Pope Pious II.
		He wanted to transform this room into a glorification of Enea Silvio who was a refined humanist, a superb poet, a fine diplomat and, lastly, a great Pope.
		It may therefore be concluded that this brief introduction to the work of the Piccolomini Library affirms that, despite all the defects that the critics have highlighted over the years, it is almost impossible to find such an intense richness of colour and great invention in the developing of such a profane story.

		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.
