Speaking about the series, series creator Ivan Cotroneo stated:
We wanted to write a story about a non-cisgender woman, a strong and independent woman, the story of a transgender woman. Often these characters are left on the margins, are collateral, or, in any case, marginalized. [2]
The series was filmed in Lecce and Naples beginning in March 2023. [3] [4] After filming in and falling in love with Apulia, lead actress Vittoria Schisano bought a house in the region. [5]
Vittoria Colonna, marchioness of Pescara, was an Italian noblewoman and poet. As an educated, married noblewoman whose husband was in captivity, Colonna was able to develop relationships within the intellectual circles of Ischia and Naples. Her early poetry began to attract attention in the late 1510s and she ultimately became one of the most popular poets of 16th-century Italy. Upon the early death of her husband, she took refuge at a convent in Rome. She remained a laywoman but experienced a strong spiritual renewal and remained devoutly religious for the rest of her life. Colonna is also known to have been a muse to Michelangelo Buonarroti, himself a poet.
