About The Nun of Monza

  • Sister Virginia Maria (born Marianna de Leyva y Marino; December 4, 1575 – January 17, 1650) was an Italian nun. She gave birth to two children fathered by a local aristocrat, and had connived in the murder of another nun in order to cover up the affair.
  • This took place in Monza, in northern Italy, at the beginning of the 17th century.
  • Following this scandal she became widely known as The Nun of Monza.
  • Her life inspired one of the characters in Alessandro Manzoni's novel The Betrothed, which has also been dramatized several times.
