The unravelling of a woman's patronage of Franciscan propaganda in Rome

In the Franciscan church S. Maria in Aracoeli an important Counter‐Reformation vault‐painting was financed in 1565 by a woman, Flaminia Margani. Archival research establishes Flaminia as the widow of Savo Mattei, who bequeathed her his fortune, and by way of recorded lawsuits uncovers the conflicts existing in the Mattei and Margani families. A picture looms of jealousy and rivalry amidst her in‐laws, and of greed and hatred among her own family, eventually leading to her assassination. Hence, the reasons for her donation can be unravelled, based on faith and family pride. This research shows us the intertwining of public and private motivations, to which the Franciscans owe their order propaganda above the high altar, still in situ.
