The stories swirling about the Duke of Bracciano Paolo Giordano Orsini and his second wife Vittoria Accoramboni were followed
closely by contemporary chroniclers until their tragic conclusion in December 1585. Contemporary interest in these events
was driven by their great political significance. They were not about private crimes but about something that called into
question the morality of the pope and those closest to him. The international dissemination of these stories and their subsequent
literary popularity was due to a series of anonymous manuscripts called relazioni, the best known of which is attributed to
the so-called Anonimo di Campidoglio.
