Katharina Valenta

From EverybodyWiki Bios & Wiki


Katharina Valenta was a famous Sicilian courtesan in the 17th century. She was the lover of many rich men and princes. Through the presbyter Carlo Carafa, she was converted to a different way of life and helped him in the rescue and support of prostitutes. This made her an early champion of the rights of "fallen" women.
