Giulia Farnese (1474 – 23 March 1524) was one of the mistresses of Pope Alexander VI. She was known as Giulia la bella, meaning "Julia the Beautiful" in Italian. Lorenzo Pucci described her as "most lovely to behold". Cesare Borgia, the son of Alexander VI, described her as having "dark colouring, black eyes, round face and particular ardour".
