Born in Turin, Italy, in 1817, Cerrito began her dance training at a young age and quickly rose to prominence in European ballet circles. Her exceptional talent and captivating stage presence earned her the nickname "La Bella Cerrito." In this image, Cerrito dons an intricately designed costume, complete with a flowing mermaid tail and delicate lily adornments, bringing the mythical water nymph to life.

This photograph encapsulates the timeless beauty and allure of the Ondine ballet, as well as the extraordinary artistry of Fanny Cerrito. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the rich history of ballet and the captivating performances of one of its most celebrated dancers.
