This is just a few notes detailing footnoted sources for Elizabeth Lev's book on Caterina Sforza regarding the assassination of Giacomo Feo in Forli, Italy some 520 years ago.
The circumstances of his death are drawn from the respective Chronache Forlivesi of both Andrea Bernardi and Leone Cobelli.
Bernardi: vol 1, A2, p.98
Cobelli: p.394
The likely prior animosities, and prelude to this incident are linked to the Pre-Principality Medici Archives in the Florence State Archives - filza 54 c. 165
The description of the honorary procession into the Forli market square the day after the murder probably came from Leone Cobelli.
The resulting actions, reprisals, and fallout come also from Cobelli, p. 384 and the Milan State Archives. Thses were reprinted in Pier Desiderio Pasolini's Caterina Sforza in 3 volumes, Rome: Loescher, 1893. Lev supplies her own translations of quotations of this material.
