Note | Borghesi was a member of a Sienese patrician family, known from the 13th century. He claimed that St. Catherine was of his family, the Benincasa. He was active in Siena politics, taught poetry and rhetoric in the university, and wrote the biographies of several saints. He dedicated this work to Agostino Barbarigo, the 74th Doge of Venice. |
