286:(ostensibly in honor of her recently deceased husband), and she famously refused to consummate the union for five years. After she finally gave birth to twins in 1545, she chose to live separately from her husband, and when modern historian Renato Lefevre sought to defend Margaret's honor against rumors of sexual impropriety, he stated, perhaps somewhat tellingly, that “not one of the scandalous rumors so frequent at that time touched her. If anything, one could say the contrary about her… that men were of no interest to her as such.” Although there is no evidence that would suggest that Margaret and Forteguerri ever consummated their relationship, their transgressions of their gender roles and prominent positions within a male-dominated society, their lack of interest in their husbands, and their tender relationship has led many to assume that these women were lovers in all but name.
154:. But rather than exhibit jealousy at Forteguerri's expression of love for another, Piccolomini celebrates it, lauding her poetry as "an example of a most ardent Love that exists… between two most unique and divine women." This is particularly surprising given Piccolomini's resentment of Forteguerri's second marriage in 1544—an event that wounded him so deeply that he would never again mention Forteguerri by name in his work (though some of his later poems speak rather dramatically of the "betrayal" of his beloved). It seems clear that Piccolomini's acceptance of Forteguerri's expressions of same-sex love was based on his belief that she was not experiencing true physical desire, but rather a divine (and entirely platonic) love for Margaret. However, while contemporary Sienese poets such as
231:(both of whose same-sex sexual preferences were well known during this period) were especially revered. Sappho was particularly championed as an exemplar of female poetic genius during the Renaissance, and same-sex female desire during this period was largely modeled after her. While some historians have argued that women's homoerotic relations were considered to be relatively harmless during this period because they led to no offspring (and thus did not threaten paternal heredity), the Renaissance view of what we would now term “lesbianism” was in actuality far more ambivalent, and it was typically divided into two categories. While chaste (if impassioned) female friendships were often considered to be a pure and almost holy form of love, same-sex

Forteguerri was the child of her father's second wife, and she had one older half-brother, Niccodemo Forteguerri, who would become a prominent Sienese captain in the siege of Siena. Alessandro Forteguerri married Virginia Pecci in 1515 after the death of Niccodemo's mother, and the couple had at least seven children together in addition to Laudomia. Forteguerri's parents were members of some of the most powerful feudal families of sixteenth-century Siena; the Forteguerri and Pecci clans were highly influential, and together they controlled much of the civic and ecclesiastical life of the city. Both of Forteguerri's parents were descendants of Siena's imperial counts and were members of the

Forteguerri did. Italian noblewomen also frequently married men who were up to ten years their senior, thus it was not at all unusual that Giulio was eight years older than the teenaged Forteguerri. Laudomia and Giulio had three children together, Olimpia Antonia (born in 1535), Antonia Anna (born in 1537), and Allesandro Antonio (born in 1539), and Giulio died some time around 1542. After being widowed, in 1544 Forteguerri remarried to Petruccio Petrucci, a member of the powerful

Although there is some dispute about the exact date of Margaret's first meeting with Forteguerri, it occurred either in 1533 (when Forteguerri would have been seventeen years old and Margaret just ten) or 1536 (when Forteguerri would have been twenty years old and Margaret thirteen). Regardless of the specific date, the two certainly met before Margaret's marriage to

Because of this, every able citizen was mobilized in the effort to build fortifications, and Laudomia Forteguerri herself led a group of 1,000 noble and artisan women to aid in the construction.
