Ever since I was little, I was ugly. They always laughed at me and joked about me. But I didn’t develop any complex, and I always had a sense of humor. Thank to my sense of humor Francisco, one of the most handsome man in the town, fell in love with me. I thank Saint Anthony because we had a very beautiful wedding ceremony and all my friends got jealous.

I dedicate this retablo with my picture to Saint Francis of Assisi because two days ago he helped me to find a cream to depilate these ugly hairs that grow under my armpits on my legs, my arms end even on my face.

We offer this retablo to the Virgin of Lourdes for helping us to overcome our vanity, since it’s neither mine nor my twin brother Manuel’s fault that we were born so attractive and intelligent.

Although I wasn’t beauty like my sisters, I married the handsome and kind man who loves me very much. All this thanks to the gift of cooking I had from Saint Paschal. So I always cook something delicious.

Thank you, Saint Lucy, for endowing me with these eyes that are after women and men. Your slave Giulia.

I was very fat, and my cousins kept telling me that I wouldn’t get married with such weight. But I didn’t lose my faith in the Holy Virgin, and thanks to her one of the most handsome guys fell in love with me, and I with him. After beautiful engagement, we got married. He thinks I’m the most beautiful woman in the whole world. We are very happy together, and a lot of love even helped me to lose some weight, but it really doesn’t matter to him.

My husband started to catch mermaids. I was very jealous seeing how beautiful they were. But when he saw that these damned gluttons were eating all his fish yield so he was left with nothing to sell, my husband finally came to his senses and released the mermaids back in the sea. I thank Saint Raphael, protector of the fishermen.
