Under the Banner of the Bull is a novel by Rafael Sabatini dedicated to his favorite character, the "black genius" of the Italian Renaissance, Cesare Borgia. Rich and subtle pastiche of authentic Italian Renaissance prose.
What was he like, this great and controversial man? Why did official history slander him as a tyrant and criminal, and why did his contemporaries admire him so much that Niccolò Machiavelli himself chose him as a model of an ideal ruler in his book The Prince? The controversial and multifaceted image of Cesare Borgia literally comes to life on the pages of the novel "Under the Banner of the Bull"...

The collection also includes three short stories about Cesare Borgia: The Urbine, The Perugine and The Venetian. The time of action is the 17th century, rich in historical events.
