E05 B: Renaissance Rome with Robert Huber

Dig in for part two of Episode 5 of our TE Talks podcast with Dr. Robert Huber and the Renaissance in Rome. We start where we left off describing what Rome the city looked like in the mid 1400’s but then the conversation goes a bit off track and becomes truly delicious. We learn why Rome was known as the “Citta delle Donne” and how prostitution was thriving in this city. We learn about Benvenuto Cellini”s midnight adventure in the Colosseum and how a mistress of a pope became a true entrepreneur and one of the most powerful women in the city.
