| Summary: | This paper analyzes the political and cultural activity of the Valencian Joan Llopis, who was secretary of Rodrigo Borgia - later Pope Alexander VI - and was one of the most favoured cardinals during that pontificate. Thanks to his skill and discretion, he held the office of the Dataria, and became one of the principal collaborators of the Pope in the government of the Church and its relations with the Catholic Monarchs, as well as Florence and the kingdom of Naples, without abandoning the Pope as he later gravitated towards France. From his privileged position, Llopis frequented Roman intellectual circles and commissioned works of art in Perugia and Rome that reflect his sensitivity to the cultural currents of the Renaissance. Although his accumulation of benefices prompted accusations of corruption, Llopis did not build up a family inheritance, but devoted his life and earnings to the papacy, which he served during one of the most controversial periods in its history. |
