Biography
Ciao! I'm Venere Amoretti, the daughter of Rosella and the King of Love. My mother was one of three daughters. One day, while gathering herbs, a Turk appeared and told her that he must come to his master. He brought her to a green bird, who became a man when he was washed in milk. This man was the King of Love, and Rosella became his wife. The king vanished, and Rosella searched for him, but an ogress who was the king's aunt found her. The ogress took pity on her and let her stay the night, and told her to watch out for her seventh sistser, the King of Love's mother. A week later, Rosella met a sister of the King of Love, and the King of Love's sisters assisted her and protected her from their ogress mother, and gave Rosella a letter. Rosella went to find the King of Love. On the way, his voice told her to praise things along the way (which otherwise would have attacked her). Rosella delivered the letter and took a box, but then she opened the box, and musical instruments escaped.

When Rosella got back, the ogress tried to eat her again but the ogress' daughters saved her. She was told to fill a mattress with feathers from all the birds in the world. The King of Love got the King of the Birds to help her do so. The ogress tried marrying her son to the daughter of the king of Portugal and have Rosella put to death, but the king switched places and the false bride was swallowed up. The ogress then pronounced that Rosella's child would not be born until the ogress unclasped her hands. The King of Love played dead, fooling his mother into thinking that he died. The ogress unclasped her hands, and Rosella's son was born. The ogress was so furious that she died.

I am the sixth of seven children, and the youngest of their three girls. I was named after Venus, the goddess of love.
