Untitled[edit]

Hi great article, but it is unreferenced with no external links. I was rather alarmed at this considering how many other websites use this exact article for their biography on Castiglione. Just wondering. Clyde Miller 18:07, 24 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Someone want to explain what the "Sacco" is instead of just having rationale behind it?Rohawn 07:05, 2 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I added (Sacco di Roma) after the Sack of Rome. That seemed less harsh than changing each instance of Sacco to "Sack"; not a bad solution as well. --Stomme 18:49, 21 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Year of birth - 1468 or 1478?[edit]

I did a quick search and found many references to each year. I am quite sure they are not both correct. If someone could nail this down, it would be a great service to Wikipedia. Thanks. Chris the speller 01:47, 30 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

How to spell his first name?[edit]

The first line of the article and the title seem to differ on the spelling of Castiglione's first name. Fix? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.74.15.119 (talk) 19:08, 6 May 2008 (UTC) IT IS 78[reply]

Vandalism[edit]

This article needs more attentive adult editors. The vandalism is constant, and vandals' spelling has been corrected without regard to their fake insertions.--Wetman (talk) 05:50, 13 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

She was 'played' to her husband...?[edit]

The third paragraph in the Biography section (beginning with 'The court of Urbino') ends with a confusing sentence as follows: "She was played to her husband though his invalid state meant they could never have children."

I get that there was some sort of health problem with the husband that prevented conception, but this sentence sounds like it's just been through a blender. Can the author clear this up? Nachobidnez (talk) 01:00, 16 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
