Lucrezia Helena, called Helena to distinguish her from her mother, enjoyed an unusual education as she was allowed to attend morning lessons with her elder brother, Marcello. Afternoon lessons were more conventional 'womanly arts' with her mother. Helena excelled at maths and languages and began helping her father with bookkeeping in 1518. Extended war between Venice and the pope's League of Cambrai, and disgust with the pope's corruption caused Lorenzo and Lucrezia to become secret Protestants by 1522.
