Christina's visit to Rome was the triumph of Pope Alexander VII and the southbound journey through Italy was planned in detail by the Vatican and was the occasion for splendid Baroque festivities.
She was granted her own wing inside the Vatican, decorated by Bernini.
For several months, she was the only preoccupation of the Pope and his court. The nobles vied for her attention and treated her to a never-ending round of fireworks, jousts, mock duels, acrobatics, and operas.
