I truly loved and admired you detailed video! I randomly found this and im so glad i did! This video contains so much interesting infromation and the way you share it with us is so serene and enjoyable to watch! Im so so grateful i found your chanel! ♥
Very interesting video, and I really appreciate the varied images, especially the maps of Rome - I've always greatly admired Bernini's work, so this unpleasant episode somewhat lowers him in my estimation, but I daresay there's very few famous men in history who didn't have unsavoury sides... Oddly, I just looked at Bernini's Wikipedia page to see how this was presented and it states that the servant was imprisoned, though no specific footnote is given for this - I wonder where the discrepancy comes from...
Thank you for the kind comments, I'm glad you liked the film. Sarah McPhee writes that the servant was exiled (p48 of "Bernini's Beloved") and cites the biography of Bernini by his son Domenico as the source, and I think if he had been imprisoned she would have included this detail with its supporting evidence. But the servant was presumably arrested, and may have been confined before being exiled, and this may be the origin of reports of imprisonment.
Thank you for this explanation, clearly McPhee's book is the most reliable source in this matter. Interestingly, the Wikipedia page for Costanza Piccolomini Bonarelli also states that the servant was exiled (McPhee's book is the sole reference for this entire page) so clearly the Bernini page is at fault - just goes to show, once again, not to uncritically trust everything one reads on Wikipedia :)
