The people have sufficiently overwhelmed me by calling me Pimpaccia and impia and whore of pope and sucker of Innocent and vamp, vampiria and woman with scepter and Didi a fly swatter, they have sufficiently shat on me so that I can raise an army of Pasquins all in shit and fill from one end to the other the Ponte Sant'Angelo and thus cut off this city of braggarts from the empty bubble of the Holy See now empty from which they want to chase me.
Olimpia Maidalchini (1592-1657) was the muse of Pope Innocent X, her brother-in-law, to such an extent that in the mid-17th century, it was said that the Catholic Church was governed by a female pope. This book, a diptych portrait of the "great harlot" who, it is said, cast a terrible curse upon Rome, allows us to hear her voice before recounting her life story.
