The Nun starts out with a young woman, named Suzanne, in a wedding gown preparing to take her vows of chastity, obedience, and poverty to make herself a nun, but she refuses at the
last moment and instead begs her parents not to force her to take them.
This does not work, and later Suzanne learns much about her family and her heritage - or her lack thereof. She discovers that her mother’s husband is not her father, and that her mother is shutting her up in the convent because she doesn’t want her husband to know that the girl was not his daughter. She also does not want to see her sin in the flesh, for she says bearing the girl was her only sin. The father sends the priest to convince her, who reveals her heritage, but it fell on deaf ears. Later the mother falls on her knees to beg the daughter to take the vows, explaining the story enough to make Suzanne resign herself to her fate, realizing that her mother would never give her a chance to marry because the mother did not feel she was worthy to marry and the family could not afford to marry her off. According to the mother, she did not have the bloodline to marry. She writes her mother a letter that says she will take the vows, a letter that will later be used against her in the court case she wages against the church to be released of her vows.
The young Suzanne Simonin is forced by her parents to become a nun. She learns that as an illegitimate child, she is supposed to atone for her mother’s sin. Her abbess treats her nicely but when she dies and another takes her place, Suzanne considers breaking her vows. Due to the maltreatment she undergoes, she is thrown into a world of punishment. It is not until a friend gives Suzanne some hope that she may not have to remain a nun forever does Suzanne's punishment ease up.
Sister Virginia Maria (born Marianna de Leyva y Marino, Milan, December 4, 1575 – January 17, 1650) was an Italian nun who became involved in a scandal which took place in Monza, in northern Italy, at the beginning of the 17th century. It was revealed that she had given birth to two children fathered by a local aristocrat, and had connived in the murder of another nun to cover up the affair.
Following this scandal she became widely known as "The Nun of Monza". Her life inspired one of the characters in Alessandro Manzoni's novel The Betrothed. It has also been dramatized several times.
Life
Family
Marianna de Leyva y Marino was born in Milan, Italy, on December 4, 1575. She was the daughter of Martìno de Leyva and Virginia Maria Marino, widow of Ercole Pio Count of Sassuolo. Virginia was the daughter and direct heir of one of the richest men in Milan, the banker Tommaso Marino.
Martìno had inherited the County of Monza as the great nephew of Antonio de Leyva, a Spaniard who became a notorious commander in Italy at the service of Charles V, who gave him the Fiefdom of Monza, with its related and substantial incomes. Martino was the second son of Luis de Leyva, Prince of Ascoli, who was an army captain and first Spanish Governor of Milan.
On 11 June 2004 Monza was designated the capital of the new province of Monza and Brianza. The new administrative arrangement came fully into effect in summer 2009; previously, Monza was a comune within the province of Milan. Monza is the third-largest city of Lombardy and is the most important economic, industrial and administrative centre of the Brianza area, supporting a textile industry and a publishing trade. Monza also hosts a Department of the University of Milan Bicocca, a Court of Justice and several offices of regional administration. Monza Park is one of the largest urban parks in Europe.
Monza is a Belgianrock band, founded by Stijn Meuris, originally a member of Noordkaap. When Noordkaap stopped making music, Meuris formed Monza. They have released 3 albums so far: Van God Los, Grand and recently Attica!.
In 2005 they made the theme song for the 175 years of independence of Belgium "Ik hou van u/Je t'aime tu sais". It was an adaptation of the Noordkaap hit "Ik hou van u" in collaboration with Marie Daulne (Zap Mama).
Monza has worked together with Scala & Kolacny Brothers for a special version of their hit Van God Los.
