Her image in Alessandro Botticelli’s (ca. 1445 – 1510) Birth of Venus may be the most recognizable in western culture. (1447 -1492), La Bella Simonetta was the most celebrated beauty of Florence’s Golden Age. She was painted by innumerable artists, prominently featured in one of the most renowned works of Renaissance poetry. Her funeral procession was an event the entire city of Florence turned out for.

她的形象出现在波蒂切利的名画《维纳斯的诞生》中，是西方文化中最著名和经典的女性形象之一，她作为弗洛伦萨黄金时期最引人注目的美女，被无数艺术家作为模特留在画布上。她的葬礼成为全弗洛伦萨人参加的重要事件。

Simonetta Cattaneo Vespucci (ca. 1453 – 26 April 1476), nicknamed la bella Simonetta, was an Italian Renaissance noblewoman from Genoa and the wife of Marco Vespucci of Florence. She was renowned for being the greatest beauty of her age—certainly of the city of Florence.

西蒙内塔·卡坦尼奥·韦斯普奇(ca. 1453- 26.04 1476), 昵称为拉·贝拉·西蒙内塔，是一位来自热那亚文艺复兴时期的贵妇，也是弗罗伦萨马可·韦斯普奇的妻子， 她以绝伦的美貌著称于佛罗伦萨的黄金时期。

La Bella Simonetta - Sandro Botticelli circa 1480-1485 (4th of presumable profile portraits of Simonetta by Botticelli)

She was born Simonetta Cattaneo circa 1453 in a part of the Republic of Genoa that now exists within the Italian region of Liguria. A more precise location for her birthplace is unknown: possibly the city of Genoa, or perhaps either Portovenere (now Porto Venere) or Fezzano (villages in the modern-day municipality of Porto Venere).

The Florentine poet Politian wrote that her home was "in that stern Ligurian district up above the seacoast, where angry Neptune beats against the rocks ... There, like Venus, she was born among the waves."

她于1453年出生，出生时命名为西蒙内塔·卡坦尼奥，她的故乡曾是热那亚共和国的一部分现属于意大利利古里亚地区。关于她出生地更精确的信息仍不详尽：有可能是热那亚城，或波尔图韦内雷（现波尔图的韦内雷）或菲萨挪（现波尔图韦内雷的一个自治村）。

佛罗伦萨的诗人波利提安写道：她的家在峭直的利古里亚区海岸之上,狂暴的海浪反复击打着的岩石……那里，如维纳斯,她出生在浪潮之中。”

Her father was a Genoese nobleman named Gaspare Cattaneo della Volta (a much-older relative of a sixteenth-century Doge of Genoa named Leonardo Cattaneo della Volta) and her mother was Gaspare's wife, Cattocchia Spinola (another source names her parents slightly differently as Gaspare Cattaneo and Chateroccia di Marco Spinola) .

At age fifteen or sixteen she married Marco Vespucci, son of Piero, who was a distant cousin of the Florentine explorer and cartographer Amerigo Vespucci. They met in April 1469; she was with her parents at the church of San Torpete when she met Marco; the doge Piero il Fregoso and much of the Genoese nobility were present.

她的父亲是一位名叫Gaspare Cattaneo della Volta的热那亚贵族 (一个相对更为年长的16世纪热那亚总督叫莱昂纳多 刚德拉 沃尔塔)，她的母亲Cattocchia Spinola ，Gaspare的妻子（另一个说法是：她父母的姓名稍有不同，为 Gaspare Cattaneo 和 Chateroccia di Marco

Spinola) .

大约在十五六岁左右她嫁给了马可·韦斯普奇，皮耶罗的儿子, 他是佛罗伦萨探险家和制图师阿美利哥·韦斯普奇的堂兄。马可与西蒙内塔相遇在1469年的4月;她和父母在San Torpete 教堂遇到了马可, 当时总督Piero il Fregoso和许多热那亚贵族都在场。

Botticelli, Young Woman (La bella Simonetta) 1475

Marco had been sent to Genoa by his father, Piero, to study at the Banco di San Giorgio. Marco was accepted by Simonetta's father, and he was very much in love with her, so the marriage was logical. Her parents also knew the marriage would be advantageous because Marco's family was well connected in Florence, especially to the Medici family.

马可被他的父亲皮耶罗送到热那亚圣乔治银行学习。他被西蒙内塔的父亲所接受，马可非常爱她，所以结婚也是合乎逻辑的。她的父母也知道婚姻有利，因为马可的家族和佛罗伦萨有很好的联系，特别是美第奇家族。

Simonetta and Marco were married in Florence. Simonetta was instantly popular at the Florentine court. The Medici brothers, Lorenzo and Giuliano took an instant liking toward her. Lorenzo permitted the Vespucci wedding to be held at the palazzo in Via Larga, and held the wedding reception at their lavish Villa di Careggi. Simonetta, upon arriving in Florence, was discovered by Sandro Botticelli and other prominent painters through the Vespucci family. Before long every nobleman in the city was besotted with her, even the brothers Lorenzo and Giuliano of the ruling Medici family. Lorenzo was occupied with affairs of state, but his younger brother was free to pursue her.

西蒙内塔和马可在佛罗伦萨结了婚。她在佛罗伦萨的宫廷瞬间受到了欢迎。美第奇家族的兄弟，洛伦佐和朱利亚诺都喜欢上了她。洛伦佐向韦斯普奇允诺婚礼在Via Larga宫殿举行，并在豪华的Villa di Careggi别墅举办婚宴。西蒙内塔到达佛罗伦萨之后被萨桑德罗•波提切利和其他著名画家通过韦斯普奇家族所发现。不久,城市里的每一个贵族都迷上了她，甚至是执政的美第奇家族兄弟洛伦佐和朱利亚诺。洛伦佐被政务占据, 但他的弟弟可以自由地追求她。

（是不是想到美剧《达芬奇的恶魔》里面的情节了？电视剧将追求她的人变成了洛伦佐和达芬奇，弟弟朱利亚诺干别的去了。）

Ideal Portrait of a Lady (Simonetta Vespucci) by Botticelli

At La Giostra (a jousting tournament) in 1475, held at the Piazza Santa Croce, Giuliano entered the lists bearing a banner on which was a picture of Simonetta as a helmeted Pallas Athene painted by Botticelli himself, beneath which was the French inscription La Sans Pareille, meaning "The unparalleled one". From then on Simonetta became known as the most beautiful woman in Florence, and later the most beautiful woman of the Renaissance.

Giuliano won the tournament and the affection of la bella Simonetta, who was nominated “The Queen of Beauty” at that event. It is unknown, however, if they actually became lovers.

1475年在圣十字广场的举办的马术竞赛中，朱利亚诺参加比赛的方位旗帜是以Simonetta作为雅典娜女神佩戴头盔庆祝的照片，画家是波提切利本人,旗帜下方是法国铭文 La Sans Pareille，意为“空前的”。

从那时起西蒙内塔就被称为佛罗伦萨最美的女人,乃至后来文艺复兴时期的最美丽的女人。

朱利亚诺赢得了比赛因而也赢得了西蒙内塔的感情，在这个事件中她被提名为“美的皇后”。他们是否真的成为恋人尚未可知。

Simonetta Vespucci died just one year later, on the night of 26–27 April 1476. She was only twenty-two at the time of her death. Her husband remarried soon afterward. The entire city was reported to mourn her death and thousands followed her coffin to its burial.

Botticelli finished painting The Birth of Venus in 1485, nine years later. Some have claimed that Venus, in this painting, closely resembles Simonetta. This claim, however, is dismissed as "romantic nonsense" by historian Felipe Fernández-Armesto。

波提切利于1485年完成了维纳斯的诞生，九年之后，一些人声称画中的维纳斯，神似西蒙内塔本人。然而，这种声称被史学家FelipeFernández-Armesto斥为“浪漫的废话”。

Some suggest that Botticelli also had fallen in love with her, a view supported by his request to be buried at her feet in the Church of Ognissanti - the parish church of the Vespucci - in Florence. His wish was in fact carried out when he died some 34 years later, in 1510.

有人认为,波提切利也爱上了她, 根据他的请求死后将他葬在西蒙内塔脚边的Ognissanti教堂——韦斯普奇在佛罗伦萨的教区教堂。事实上，于1510年，他的愿望在死后第34年所实现。

（本人认为波提切利肯定是爱她的，她的形象充斥于几乎所有波提切利的名作中，这样魂萦梦绕的还不是爱是什么呢？）
