Encyclopedic overview
Caterina Sforza (1463 – 28 May 1509) was an Italian noblewoman who ruled as Countess of Forlì and Lady of Imola, initially alongside her husband Girolamo Riario, and later as regent for their son, Ottaviano Riario.
A descendant of a dynasty of prominent condottieri, Caterina Sforza distinguished herself from an early age through bold and impetuous actions aimed at safeguarding her possessions from usurpers and defending her dominions amid political intrigues. Her fearless and assertive character earned her the nickname La Tigre ("The Tiger"). In her private life, Caterina was devoted to various activities, including experiments in alchemy and a love of hunting, dancing, and horse riding. She was educated and engaged in religious rituals and matters, commissioned works of art, stood as a fashion icon, and was a collector of many jewels and clothing. In addition, she undertook urban, residential, and military architectural projects.
