Description: (Nun)
Benedetta Carlini, an Italian Catholic nun and abbess of the Convent of the Mother of God in Pescia, claimed to have mystic visions. She became involved in a sexual relationship with another nun, Sister Bartolomea, leading to accusations of heretical spirituality. This ultimately led to her interrogation by the Counter-Reformation papacy. During the investigation, it was discovered that she engaged in sexual acts with Bartolomea while allegedly possessed by a male demon named Splenditello. Consequently, Benedetta was stripped of her rank and imprisoned.
