All agreed with me, whereupon the Pope called to me and said, "It seems to me to be best as you say"; consequently it was arranged that I should bring the present to the palace late in the evening.

His Holiness gave a small dinner in honor of the bride and groom, and there were present the Cardinals Ascanio, S.Anastasia, and Colonna; the bride and groom, and next to him the Count of Pitigliano, captain of the Church; Giuliano Orsini; Madonna Giulia Farnese, of whom there is so much talk (de qua est tantus sermo); Madonna Teodorina and her daughter, the Marchesa of Gerazo; a daughter of the above named captain, wife of Angelo Farnese, Madonna Giulia's brother.

Then came a younger brother of Cardinal Colonna and Madonna Adriana Ursina.

The last is mother-in-law of the above mentioned Madonna Giulia.

She had the bride educated in her own home, where she was treated as a niece of the Pope.
