This is the story of one of the famous ghosts of Rome. Donna Olimpia was a girl who was so impudent and beautiful to become the wife of a rich man of Rome despite she was poor and she was boned in Viterbo ( a small village near Rome). Her husband died suddenly so she inherited all his money. Now she was rich, but her lucky star was just starting to surprise her: infact she maried Pamphilio Pamphilj one of the most powerful man of Rome. Noreover he was the brother of the cardinal that became Pope Innocenzo X. Her new husband died few years after their holy matrimony so she was lonely again, but now the situation was different. She was rich, she was young, she was the second powerful person of the city; that's because she was the only relative of the Pope so anyone that wanted to have business in Rome went to her with gifts to have the goodwill of the aristocracy. But her lucky life ended in the 1655: Pope Innocenzo X was dying and she was smart enough to understand that without her protector she was in a dangerous situation. Infact anyone that wanted to hae a revenge against her
could now act without any concern (a lot of romans infact hated her for her position and apathy for their troubles). So she took two trunks full of gold and left the city crossing Ponte Sisto (a bridge). No one saw Donna Olimpia again, but there is a legend: a lot of people tells they have seen her ghost riding a black lorry among Ponte Sisto chuckling against Rome and romans, and they affirm that is a very scary experience. For more, post me.
