Greetings! I've been lurking on these boards for some time. What a treasure trove the Historical Research boards have been for me. I want to say thanks to all of you historians for sharing your work and thoughts publicly.
Anyway, I'm decloaking because I'm writing a novel in which Filippo Maria Visconti appears as a character. The story takes into account his relationship with tarot and playing cards, and I feel that I have a decent handle on that part of my research (trionfi.com was a God-send - thanks, Huck!).
But I'm wondering if anyone could recommend a good biography of the duke, one that I could find through amazon.com or a local lending library. I'm interested in who he was as a person, the politics in northern Italy during his life, etc. I don't read Italian, unfortunately, so my choices seem limited.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me!
