- Il était une fois un jeune Auvergnat prénommé Marin qui, comme dans les contes de fées, partit de presque rien pour finir riche et fonder une dynastie de princes, sans même avoir besoin pour cela d’un chat botté. Né en 1725 dans un village du Puy-de-Dôme, il arrive à Rome un quart de siècle plus tard, s’y établit comme drapier, puis comme prêteur sur gages. Et, dans cette Italie qui l’adopte, Marin Tourlonias se mue en Marino Torlonia.
