What is a family? Mario Puzo first answered that question in The Godfather. Now comes a masterpiece that crowns his career: the story of the Borgias, the greatest crime family in Italian history. The Family transports readers to Renaissance Rome, revealing the extravagance and intrigue of the Vatican and the Borgias who ruled there. Puzo captures their reign marked by pride, romance, betrayal, and murderous rage with unerring insight and compassion in this, his final triumph.
