Catterina Vizzani

Vizzani then worked as a footman for the noble Cavaliere Francesco Maria Pucci in Monte Pulciano.

As Bordoni, Vizzani was widely known for love affairs with women and had the reputation of a seducer.

Vizzani then allegedly asked to be buried in women's clothing and to be honored as a virgin.

Vizzani's funeral was widely attended, as the public regarded the deceased as a woman who died for virginity.

[4] Bianchi later published a biography of Vizzani titled Breve storia della vita di Catterina Vizzani romana che per ott'anni vesti abito da uomo in qualita di servidore, la quale dopo varj casi essendo in fine stata uccisa fu trovata pulcella nella sezzione del suo cadavero di Giovanni Bianchi professore di Notomi in Siena (Venezia: Occhi, Simone, 1744), making Vizzani famous.
