Alexander had invited the nobility, the officials of Rome, and the foreign ambassadors to be present.

There was a banquet, followed by a licentious comedy, which is described by Infessura.
To corroborate the short account given by this Roman, and at the same time to render the picture more complete, we reproduce, word for word, the description which the Ferrarese ambassador, Boccaccio, sent his master in a communication dated June 13th: Yesterday, the twelfth of the present month, the union was publicly celebrated in the palace, with the greatest pomp and extravagance.
All the Roman matrons were invited, also the most influential citizens, and many cardinals, twelve in number, stood near her, the Pope occupying the throne in their midst.

The palace and all the apartments were filled with people, who were overcome with amazement.

The lord of Pesaro celebrated his betrothal to his wife, and the Bishop of Concordia delivered a sermon.

The only ambassadors present, however, were the Venetian, the Milanese and myself, and one from the King of France.
Cardinal Ascanio thought that I ought to present the gift during the ceremony, so I had some one ask the Pope, to whom I remarked that I did not think it proper, and that it seemed better to me to wait a little while.
