Abstract This paper explores the intersection of religious iconography and hardcore adult cinema through the lens of Mario Salieri’s 1990 film, Secret of a Nun (original Italian title: Segreti di una Suora). As one of the most prominent directors of the "Golden Age" of Italian pornography, Salieri utilizes the convent setting not merely as a backdrop for titillation, but as a space to enact complex psychological dramas involving power, submission, and the transgression of societal taboos. By analyzing the film’s production design, narrative structure, and thematic reliance on the "sacred profaned," this paper argues that Salieri’s work elevates the generic conventions of pornographic cinema into a distinct auteurist style that mirrors the historical nunsploitation genre while catering to specific fetishistic desires.
