	Vittoria Colonna
		Vittoria Colonna (1490-1547), marchioness of Pescara[?], Italian poet, daughter of Fabrizio Colonna[?], grand constable of the kingdom of Naples, and of Anna da Montefeltro[?], was born at Marino[?], a fief of the Colonna family.
		Betrothed when four years old at the instance of Ferdinand, king of Naples, to Ferrante de Avalos[?], son of the marquis of Pescara, she received the highest education and gave early proof of a love of letters.
		Vittoria, who was hastening to tend him, received the news of his death at Viterbo; she halted and turned off to Rome, and after a brief stay departed for Ischia, where she remained for several years.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Vittoria Colonna
		In 1509 Vittoria was married to Ferrante Francesco d'Avalos, Marquis of Pescara, a Neapolitan nobleman of Spanish origin, who was one of the chief generals of the Emperor Charles V.
		Vittoria earnestly dissuaded him from this scheme, declaring (as her cousin, Cardinal Pompeo Colonna, tells us) that she "preferred to die the wife of a most brave marquis and a most upright general, than to live the consort of a king dishonoured with any stain of infamy".

	Vittoria Accoramboni - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Vittoria Accoramboni (15 February 1557 - 22 December 1585) was an Italian lady famous for her great beauty and accomplishments and for her untimely end, a story that was later the basis for a play and a novel.
		Vittoria was admired and worshipped by all the cleverest and most brilliant men in Rome, and being luxurious and extravagant although poor, she and her husband were soon plunged in debt.
		Vittoria, overwhelmed with grief, went to live in retirement at Padua, where she was followed by Lodovico Orsini, a relation of her late husband and a servant of the Venetian republic, to arrange amicably for the division of the property.

	Vittoria Colonna
		Vittoria Colonna seems to me unusual--indeed, alone--in this period in her willingness to part with money; but as to all but one of the other of her world's demands, she falls to.
		I will not deny that Vittoria was devoted in the first way--though in a way which was sufficiently unorthodox to attract unsafe rumors, spies and obstacle-makers; she was also mostly devoted in the second, the main exception being that drawn line at more marriages.
		About a quarter of Vittoria' poems are epistolary, numbers of them compelling poems to particular people on particular events; these are highly varied in mood; there are are poems of livid wrath directed at the Pope, of stern dignity to Charles V, of grief over someone's death, of celebration and praise of a fellow-poet's work.

	Biography: Aganoor Pompilj, Vittoria
		From the time she was a young girl, Vittoria received an excellent literary education from illustrious tutors such as Andrea Maffei, a noted poet and translator, and the abbot Giacomo Zanella, who was a poet as well as a professor at the University of Padova.
		In the midst of her readings, Vittoria wrote her first poetic compositions, which were personal writing exercises she undertook with the aim of refining her expressive powers and achieving the harmonious sonority of poetic language.
		Although she longed for deep, enduring friendships and the company of a kindred soul, Vittoria persevered in her ideal of artistic perfection, seeking to immerse herself in the beauty of art and literature with the freedom that, under the vigilant eye of her mother Giuseppina, she had always enjoyed in her parents' house.

		In a number of her poems Vittoria also tells us that when a very young child she was brought into close contact with the young d'Avalos, and taught to believe he would be the man she would marry.
		Vazquez also tells us Vittoria had a "cavalier servente" who wrote poetry to her, a Marchese di Bitonto, identified as Giovan Francesco Acquaviva, a Spaniard whose father, a learned noble minor poet in Latin, and a patron of poets, Andrea Matteo Acquaviva was present at Pescara and Vittoria's first spousals in 1507.
		Further Vittoria was increasingly respected by others, not just as a daughter of the Colonna, but for herself; she had begun to be known and respected as an individual by people outside her small circle.

		While in years past Vittoria made shoes this way, a few years ago they decided that this system was not optimal.

		With extra plates at the bottom of the sole, there is a slight amount of lost energy in the transfer of power from the foot to the pedal as those plates flex and move against each other.

	Città di Vittoria - English
		Vittoria founded at the beginning of the 17th century was the last of the settlements of the old County of Modica that covered much of the territory now belonging to the Province of Ragusa.
		In this specific case, it turned out to be an intelligent long-term investment suggested by a few county administrators to the feudatory, the Countess Vittoria Colonna (1558-1633) teacher of the son of the Count of Modica, Giovanni Alfonso Enriques Cabrera (1596-1647).
		Considered valuable are the statues (works of Corrado Leone), the gildings (of Cappellani) and overall the paintings of Giuseppe Mazzone (1838-1880), true glory of Vittoria, who decorated the medallions depicting the great musicians, the ceiling in the hall and the figures of the proscenium ("The Tradegy" and "The Commedy").

	00-6277 -- Vittoria North America, L.L.C. v. Euro-Asia Imports Inc. -- 12/12/2001
		EAI contends that the evidence relied upon by the district court was insufficient to prove VNA's ownership of the Vittoria trademark in the United States.
		EAI does not allege that VNA is the same as Vittoria Italy, is a parent or subsidiary of Vittoria Italy, or that it is subject to common ownership with Vittoria Italy.
		EAI's evidence that Vittoria Italy controls VNA's employment decisions apparently consists of a single e-mail from Campagne expressing his disapproval with VNA's management team and a "strong request" that it rehire a retired former officer of the company, which it did.

	Italy Magazine - News from Tuscany - Victor/Vittoria
		The exhibition, ‘Vittoria Colonna and Michelangelo’, which opened at the Casa Buonarroti in Florence back in March, and continues until the 12th of September, is a small but exceptionally enlightening affair, whose primary objective is to bring to wider prominence this key figure of the late Renaissance literary world.
		The lay-out of the show, too, does far more justice to the true historical figure of Vittoria, divided up as it is into four sections (and, conveniently, four rooms), each highlighting a different facet of her life and work with a richly varied display of paintings, drawings, medals, coins, books, letters and poems.
		She was a poet of considerable and sophisticated talent, highly regarded by her contemporaries, both male and female, who took centre stage in the volatile religious debates of the sixteenth-century and who inspired and was in turn inspired by one of the greatest artists of the Renaissance.

		At the end of the third decade of the century, Vittoria Colonna turned to one of Sanzio's pupils when she commissioned from Giovan Francesco Penni, brought to Naples by Vittoria's powerful and dearly loved cousin, Alfonso d'Avalos, a copy of Raphael's Transfiguration which the Marchioness donated to the Naples Ospedale degli Incurabili.
		This was the context within which Vittoria commissioned in parallel two pictures of Mary Magdalen, applying - through the offices of her cousin Alfonso d'Avalos, then General Captain of the Imperial army in Italy - to the two most acclaimed masters of the time: Titian and Michelangelo.
