him how in truth everything happens according to divine justice. Gaspare Visconti composed a songbook for her; among the poems contained therein, one introduced by the column "for the death of the Duchess and for the peril where this homeland is placed" already shows the awareness of the next ruin of the state caused by the despair of the Moro for the loss of his wife: "and my homeland gives me much fright | that in him is sustained, so that every building | ruin, if the foundation is lacking". Serafino Aquilano wrote four sonnets in his death, as well as other poets, including Niccolò da Correggio and Cornelio Balbo. Michele Marullo composed an Epitaphium Beatricis Estensis. Later writers Beatrice appears as the protagonist or character in various literary works: Tragedies The death of Ludovico Sforza known as the Moor, tragedy of Pietro Ferrari (1791). Lodovico Sforza known as il Moro, tragedy by Giovanni Battista Niccolini (1833). Novels Lodovico il Moro, by Giovanni Campiglio (1837). Beatrice or La corte di Lodovico il Moro by Ignazio Cantù (1838) Leonardo – the Resurrection of the Gods, by Dmitry Mereskovsky (1901). La città ardente – novel by Lodovico il Moro, by Dino Bonardi (1933). The Second Mrs. Giaconda, a novel by E. L. Konigsburg (1975). Duchess of Milan, by Michael Ennis (1992). Leonardo's Swans, by Karen Essex (2006). La misura dell'uomo, by Marco Malvaldi (2018). Comics Ludovico il Moro – Signore di Milano, comic strip of 2010. Cinema In the 1971 RAI miniseries The Life of Leonardo da Vinci, Beatrice is portrayed by Ottavia Piccolo. In the 2004 film Le grandi dame di casa d'Este by Diego Ronsisvalle she is played by Lucia Bendia. In the 2021 series Leonardo she is played by Miriam Dalmazio. Music The French composer Reynaldo Hahn evokes her court in his 1905 suite for winds, piano, winds, two harps, and percussion, Le Bal de Béatrice d'Este. Culinary The invention of the Dolceriso del Moro, a typical dessert of Vigevano, is traditionally attributed to Beatrice herself, who would have conceived it in the spring of 1491 to please her illustrious consort. It is a kind of ricotta rice pudding, closed in a shortcrust pastry wrapper and enriched with candied fruit, pine nuts, almonds and rose water. This last ingredient served – as it seems – to induce harmony, harmony and fidelity in the couple. Posthumous tributes The Pusterla Beatrice,
