Mistress of Galeazzo Maria Sforza, Duke of Milan. Very little is known of her early life. She was married to Count Gian Piero Landriani, a member of the court of Milan, and became the mistress of her husband's friend, Galeazzo Maria Sforza. Her life seemed fairly uneventful, except for the children she bore by both men. To Gian Piero Landriani she bore Piero Landriani, who would become castellan of the fortress of Forlimpopoli, and Bianca Landriani, who would marry Tommaso Feo, castellan of Ravaldino Castle. To Galeazzo Maria Sforza she bore at least four children, Caterina Sforza, the notorious Countess of Forli, Carlo Sforza, Count of Magenta, Alessandro Sforza, Lord of Francavilla and Chiara Sforza soon to wed both Pietro, Count dal Verme di Sanguinetto, Lord of Vigevano, and Fregosino Fregoso, Lord of Novi. Her illegitimate children were raised alongside Galeazzo's legitimate children in the ducal court. The circumstances of her death are unknown.
