I wrote the original of the Tarquinia Molza article but it's based on Newcomb's work. In his article on her in Grove he says she's Francesco Maria Molza's niece. I assume you are the author of the source referenced. I'm curious as to your ultimate source? You might be interested in Concerto delle donne as well.

 * Thanks, Mak - you did a great job on the original article. The Italian word "nipote" can be translated as either niece/nephew or grandchild and unfortunately many English chroniclers have chosen niece for the relationship between Tarquinia and FMM.  But Tarquinia was definitely his granddaughter.  Contemporary biographers all indicate that she was the firstborn of Cavaliero Camillo Molza and Isabella Colomba, and Camillo Molza is documented in the same sources as the son of Francesco Maria.  I'll add Francesco Patrizi's 1577 La Filosofia Amorosa as a source to that effect! Jmcriley (talk) 19:47, 20 September 2022 (UTC)
