Mistress <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Vatican<br />

Olimpia was furious to hear what her nephew had done and decided<br />

to get back at him. He had returned to Rome during <strong>the</strong> pope’s final<br />

illness and was living in a palace owned by Olimpia near <strong>the</strong> Trevi<br />

Fountain, which he had filled with his furniture. Olimpia ordered him<br />

to leave <strong>the</strong> palace and take every stick <strong>of</strong> his furniture with him. The<br />

cardinal informed Olimpia that it was a vacant See, and <strong>the</strong>re was no<br />

reason, when ano<strong>the</strong>r pope was created, that she should tell anyone<br />

what to do. But vacant See or not, <strong>the</strong> palace he had been living in was<br />

her property. Cardinal Maidalchini had to move. He stored his tables<br />

and chairs at <strong>the</strong> palace <strong>of</strong> Prince Ludovisi.<br />

Huffing and puffing on his way out, Cardinal Maidalchini “was so<br />

mad at his aunt that he said publicly that when <strong>the</strong>re was a new pope<br />

<strong>the</strong> first favor he would ask was this, that she be punished severely.” 9<br />

It was a sign <strong>of</strong> things to come.<br />
