For the “meeting”, Rossellini was set for only three weeks. She has less than 10 minutes of screen time, but filming the scenes from her perspective makes her character a crucial vantage point. She invented the background of the Agnes sisters: close to the Pope, she was probably very knowledgeable, and Rossellini was a reason for a scholar of religion, art or literature. “She listened,” Roselini said. “She probably just listened because she wasn’t allowed to speak.
