Ali Pasha may have had a lot of harems with hundreds of "gals", two wives and a lot of romantic adventures, but the one who finally defined him was Vasiliki. In 1805, the relentless "lion" of Ioannina knows who will master his heart. He is 65, she 15. The legend says that Vasiliki, courageously, went to ask him to forgive her relatives for some crime. The Pasha saw her, was dazzled by her beauty and took her with him, initially as an odalisque. However, the future had glory in store for her.
