Maria Micaela Villegas Hurtado (September 28, 1748 – May 16, 1819), known as La Perricholi, was arguably the most famous Peruvian woman of the eighteenth century.[1] She was a celebrated entertainer and the famous mistress of Manuel de Amat y Juniet, Viceroy of Peru from 1761 to 1776. Their son, Manuel de Amat y Villegas, was one of the signers of Peru’s declaration of independence from Spain on July 28, 1821.

Life

La Perricholi was the sixth child born to Don José Villegas and Doña Teresa Hurtado de Mendoza. Born in either Tomayquichua (in the province of Huanuco) or the capital city of Lima, she was baptized at the Lima Cathedral on December 1, 1748.

She debuted on the stage of Coliseo de Comedias in 1763 and became a popular star within romance and comedy. She retired in 1788, and married in 1795.

Ricardo Palma in his most famous book: Tradiciones Peruanas, writes about her life and describes her as charming woman, he also provides historical information about her relationship with Amat. According to what he says, she inspired him to build some of the most beautiful buildings in the colonial city of Lima such as: La Alameda de los Descalzos, La Quinta de Presa, el Templo de las Nazarenas or El Paseo de Aguas.

Her story provided the basis for Prosper Mérimée’s comic one-act Le Carrosse du Saint-Sacrement, which in turn provided the basis for both Jacques Offenbach’s opéra bouffe, La Périchole and Jean Renoir’s 1953 film Le Carrosse d'or (The Golden Coach).

A miniseries has also been made based on her story in Lima, Peru in the year 1994. It had great success and launched the career of the young Mónica Sánchez (that had the role of La Perricholi). It was written by Eduardo Adrianzen.

She and the Viceroy are also prominent characters in Thornton Wilder's The Bridge of San Luis Rey.
