	Reference.com/Encyclopedia/Niccolò di Pitigliano
		Niccolò di Pitigliano (1442 - 1510) was an Italian Condottiere best known as the Captain-General of the Venetian during the Most Serene Republic's war against the League of Cambrai.
		Niccolò di Pitigliano was born in Pitigliano, in the Maremma, the son of Aldobrandino II, Count of Pitigliano and his wife Bartolomea.
		He was the descendant of a Romano ["Romanello"] Orsini, Count of Nola, who had acquired the Signoria of the tiny Tuscan citystate of Pitigliano in 1293 by marrying Anastasia de Montfort, heiress of the Aldobrandeschi Lords of the city.

		To oppose him, Venice had hired a condottiere army under the command of the Orsini cousins—Bartolomeo d'Alviano and Nicolo di Pitigliano—but had failed to account for the fact that the two disagreed on how best to stop the French advance.
		Pitigliano managed to avoid encountering Louis; but his mercenary troops, hearing of Alviano's defeat, had deserted in large numbers by the next morning, forcing him to retreat to Treviso with the remnants of the Venetian army.
		Although a subsequent attack on Verona failed, Pitigliano managed to destroy a Papal army under Francesco II of Gonzaga in the process.

	The Prince by Nicolo Machiavelli (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		He was the second son of Bernardo di Nicolo Machiavelli, a lawyer of some repute, and of Bartolommea di Stefano Nelli, his wife.
		This was the period of Machiavelli's literary activity and increasing influence; but he died, within a few weeks of the expulsion of the Medici, on 22nd June 1527, in his fifty-eighth year, without having regained office.
		Those who strive to obtain the good graces of a prince are accustomed to come before him with such things as they hold most precious, or in which they see him take most delight; whence one often sees horses, arms, cloth of gold, precious stones, and similar ornaments presented to princes, worthy of their greatness.

		Alviano and Pitigliano, encamped around the town of Treviglio, disagreed on how to deal with Louis, since Alviano wanted to attack the French in defiance of his orders; they finally decided to move south towards the Po River in search of better positions.
		Pitigliano had been moving ahead of Alviano, and was several miles away when the French began their attack.
		Although Pitigliano had avoided engaging the French directly, news of the battle reached him by that evening, and the majority of his forces had deserted by morning.

		Count Nicolo Orsini had an imperial nomination and certain autonomy despite the fact that the Orsini had Popes in their family.
		Another reason was that Pitigliano is on the border of Lazio, which at that time was the border of the Roman Papal State, so that Jews, who were periodically driven away by the State authorities, found easy refuge in Pitigliano.

		But Alexander died five years from the time he first unsheathed the sword, leaving his son with only the State of Romagna consolidated, with all the rest unsettled between two powerful hostile armies, and sick almost to death.

		In early August 1509, Maximilian set out from Trento with an army of some 35,000 men and headed south into Venetian territory; there he was joined by French and Papal contingents.
		Due to a lack of horses, and generally poor organization, the army did not reach Padua until mid-September, which allowed Nicolo di Pitigliano to concentrate what remained of Venice's army after Agnadello, as well as several companies of volunteers from Venice, in the city.
		For two weeks, Imperial and French artillery bombarded the city, successfully breeching the walls; but the attacking troops were driven back by determined Venetian resistance when they attempted to enter.
