	On Pound and Sigismondo Malatesta
		Sigismondo Malatesta (1417-1468) is known to posterity for a single mission that he pursued for more than a decade: his sponsorship of the reconstruction of the church of San Francesco, often called the Tempio Malatestiano, in the town of Rimini.
		Sigismondo's political career was shaped by the shifting balance of power that prevailed in the Italian peninsula, divided among the five major states: Venice and Milan in the north, Florence in central Italy, and Rome (or the papacy) and Naples in the south.
		In the course of his lifetime Sigismondo served each of them as a condottiere, though by the later 1450s the major states increasingly regarded him with suspicion, either because his conduct of various campaigns had lacked sufficient vigor or because he was reported to have engaged in duplicitous dealings with his opponents.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: House of Malatesta
		The founder of their power was Malatesta da Verrucchio (died 1312), the leader of the Guelphs in Romagna, who in 1295 made himself master of Rimini by the slaughter of the chief members of the rival Ghibelline family, the Parcitati.
		SIGISMONDO MALATESTA (born 1417; died 1468) was a son of Pandolfo di Galeotto Malatesta, the descendant of a half-brother of Gianciotto.
		His son, Pandolfo, a cruel and contemptible tyrant, was expelled from Rimini by Cesare Borgia in 1500, and, after several brief restorations of the Malatesti, the city was finally incorporated into the Papal States in 1528.

	About Piero della Francesca \| Abbeville Press
		Piero appeared at Rimini in 1451, at the court of Sigismondo Pandolfo Malatesta (b.1417; ruled July 1432-1468), the city's lord and one of the most interesting figures of his age.
		Even now it is hard to strip Sigismondo of the calumnies with which powerful enemies stained him during his lifetime, not the least among them Pope Pius II, who resented Sigismondo's contempt for the clergy.
		But Sigismondo was not the first or the last man to despise the ministers of a religion in which he privately believed, and under Pope Nicholas V (144701455), who treated him kindly, he continued his family's tradition of pious devotion and loyalty to the Church.

	Rimini
		So far as Rimini is concerned, the house of Malatesta culminated in Sigismondo Pandolfo, son of Gian Galeazzo Visconti's general, the perfidious Pandolfo.
		Sigismondo, shorn of his sovereignty, took the command of the Venetian troops against the Turks in the Morea, and returned in 1465, crowned with laurels, to die at Rimini in the scene of his old splendor.
		Sigismondo's portrait, engraved on medals, and sculptured upon every frieze and point of vantage in the Cathedral of Rimini, well denotes the man. His face is seen in profile.

	On "Canto IX"
		Equally important, the Malatesta Cantos precipitated a radical revision of all the earlier cantos, crystallizing the design of the larger poem, which had until then remained obscure for Pound himself.
		The Malatesta Cantos are a locus for exploring the entire project of The Cantos, the central aspirations of literary modernism, and the intricate history of their critical reception by modern scholarship.
		Canto IX is one of Pound's four "Malatesta Cantos" (VII-XI), a series based on the life and times of an Italian lord and condottiere, or professional soldier: Sigismondo Pandolfo Malatesta (1417-68).

		It began life as the chapel of a Franciscan convent, but was selected by Sigismondo Pandolfo Malatesta to house the family tombs; reconstruction began in 1447.
		The first chapel on the right, as you enter, is dedicated to Saint Sigismondo, King of Burgundy, and has representations of the Cardinal Virtues in the niches of the pilasters (Justice is oddly absent; perhaps a comment on the history of the Malatesta dynasty).
		The apse of the church looks quite different, and indeed it is: Sigismondo was excommunicated in 1460 by Pious II, and the Franciscans were forced to complete the reconstruction of their church as best they could.

	Verucchio Cradle of the Malatesta dynasty (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		The present structure of the town, however, is of mediaeval origin, and between the end of the 12th century and 1462 the virtually impregnable fortress of Verucchio was the stronghold from which the Malatesta family dominated the entire coastal plain and a large portion of the neighbouring Marche region.
		The monumental Malatesta Fortress is a complex of buildings erected in different periods between the 12th and 16th centuries on a small plateau situated at the summit of the rocky peak on which Verucchio stands, from where an excellent panorama can be enjoyed.
		It was already occupied by the Malatesta family at the end of the 12th century, and was the birthplace of Malatesta da Verucchio or "Mastin Vecchio", the great leader og the Guelph faction who conquered Rimini in 1295, paving the way for the foundation of the Malatesta dynasty.
