Creativity is driven by various motivations. Joy can inspire one path, while disappointment can push in a different direction. For instance, Cardinal Ippolito, son of Lucrezia Borgia 1, was deeply disappointed when he was overlooked for the papacy in 1550, with Julius III being chosen instead. While pleasantries were shown in public, behind the scenes Julius banished Ippolito from Rome forever, but awarded him the governorship of Tivoli. Ippolito could never return to Rome and the Vatican.
