At the age of three, when her mother Claudia de' Medici was married for the second time, Vittoria was put into the convent of Crocetta, where her aunt Maria Magdalena or Maddalena had lived already since 1621. She lived there until she was 14 years of age.
"She [Vittoria della Rovere] was foolish, vain, ignorant, and utterly frivolous. As the result of her education in the seclusion of the convent of the Crocetta she was entirely ruled by the priests; ... She also had a bad temper, and the strife which she created soon became so great that for many years she and her husband were entirely separated, living in different parts of the palace, and never seeing each other except when attending state functions; though this state of things, after continuing for about seventeen years, was brought to an end in 1659, when a reconciliation took place." (in: G. F. Young, The Medici, Vol. 2, London 1930, p. 427)
"The portraits of Vittoria are numerous; as she delighted in being painted in various characters; her portrait by Sustermans, in the Pitti Gallery, as a Vestal Virgin, is one of the most notable; in another, also in the Pitti Gallery, she appears as the Blessed Virgin in a group of the Holy Family; and in another, in the Uffizi Gallery, as the Magdalen." (in: G. F. Young: The Medici, Vol. 2, id., p. 428)
