Costanza d'Avalos Piccolomini
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Costanza d'Avalos Piccolomini (d. 1560) was a duchess of Amalfi. A lady of great worth, she cultivated Italian poetry with great success. Charles V gave her the title of princess, as a mark of his esteem. Her poems have been published several times with those of Victoria Colonna; there are several of her pieces also in the collection by Ludovico Domenichi (Lucca, 1559, 8vo; and Naples, 1595).[1]
