Ludovico Maria Sforza (1452 – 1508), also known as Ludovico il Moro ("the Moor"). "Arbiter of Italy", according to the expression used by Guicciardini, was an Italian Renaissance nobleman who ruled as Duke of Milan from 1494 to 1499.
His ascendancy followed the death of his nephew Gian Galeazzo Sforza. A member of the Sforza family, he was the fourth son of Francesco I Sforza. A patron of the arts during the Milanese Renaissance, he commissioned the fresco of The Last Supper by Leonardo da Vinci. He also played a central role in the Italian Wars.

Paolo Giovio (also spelled Paulo Jovio; Latin: Paulus Jovius, 1483 – 1552) was an Italian physician, historian, biographer, and prelate.
