  "Mistress of the Vatican" by gazzingo (see profile) 04/26/10

I learned so much about behind the scenes life in the Vatican. I was astounded at some of the customs and machinations that were commonplace during this time. Olimpia was certainly a force that could not be ignored. She was a personality bigger than life and it was a great to see a woman make her way in what was so totally a man's world. Lot's to discuss here.
