San Martino, the town Olimpia built for dowerless girls as she had once been. Her palace is on the left, next to the church where she is buried. (© Maurizio Vecchi.)
Mistress of the Vatican Unable to take the position herself, Olimpia already had a replacement picked out. She needed someone who was young enough and obedient enough to permit her to run the Vatican by serving as a front for her and doing every little thing she said. She found the perfect candidate in Francesco Maidalchini, the seventeen-year-old son of her halfbrother, Andrea. Olimpia had originally planned for him to marry her granddaughter, Olimpiuccia, thereby keeping all the money in the family, but now she saw a better opportunity. Soon after Camillo’s resignation, she had Francesco named abbot of her church at San Martino and a canon of Saint Peter’s. She told the pope that this boy would be his next cardinal nephew. The minimum age requirement for a cardinal was twenty-two. But the pope could grant a dispensation to make a newborn a cardinal, if he wanted. For political reasons Paul V gave the red hat to a ten-year-old Spanish prince in 1619, knowing that youth was the one handicap guaranteed to pass away with time. And manhood came earlier in past centuries. Seventeen-year-olds married, fathered children, slashed their way across battlefields, and toiled in their professions. But Francesco Maidalchini had very little in the way of intelligence and an unattractive appearance to boot. Gregorio Leti described him as having “a stupid expression, neither the air nor the appearance of a man, with no experience of the world, ignorant of letters and even incapable of learning them, brutal and disagreeable in his actions and his words, badly made in body and mind, and carried away entirely with exercises and diversions low and unworthy to people of quality.” 4 The pope was fond not only of attractive women but of handsome men as well. He could barely stand to look at ugly people—it seemed to truly pain him—and he believed a person’s appearance reflected the virtues and intelligence radiating from within. It is not known what Innocent thought when looking in the mirror, but he was clearly displeased when looking at little snub-nosed Francesco Maidalchini. Seeing the pope’s hesitation, Olimpia offered to put the boy under the instruction of top cardinals to bring him up to speed quickly. “But this was no more than to sow Corn upon a Rock,” Leti wrote. “Maidalchini had no capacity to receive any thing at all, having brought an [ 213 ]
