SPOILERS
In 1965, she was sentenced to 10 years at an all-female prison floating on the Adriatic Sea for bank robbery and assault.↗↗↗
In the summer of 1967, 34 years before the events of Vento Aureo, she gave birth to a baby boy in an all-female prison on a remote island. This was two years into her 10-year prison sentence, and there were no men around the prison at all, yet she still managed to give birth. The mother insisted that she was pregnant the whole time.↗
The anime expands this scene. The woman can be heard suffering labor pains one night as the prison guards are bothered by her screams. As they ask her what's wrong, they realize her water broke, signifying that she's pregnant. As they prepare for delivery, one of the guards point out that the mother didn't even look pregnant earlier up until giving birth. When asked who the baby's father was, the mother says that he's been dead for over two years.↗
The baby couldn't be raised in the prison, so the guards had a priest of the mother's hometown, a small Sardinian village, take care of the baby.↗
One day, the priest was making a garage for his foster son, when he accidentally unearthed the mother. She was somehow still alive, yet her mouth had been stitched shut so that she couldn't speak, and she didn't know how long she'd been there, nor did she know how she ended up underneath the floor. The anime adds an extra scene of the priest turning to find his foster son behind him with a pickaxe.↗
Afterwards, a fire burned down the entire village that night. Seven were dead, and the rest were missing. On the list of the deceased were the foster father and the son; the son was named Diavolo.↗
