Mademoiselle Piccolomini, of Her Majesty's Theatre, 1856. Descended from one of the most ancient and most illustrious patrician families of Rome this gifted girl, urged on by an invincible impulse - with that confidence of success which is so often the companion of real genius - cast aside all the prerogatives of her high station, and, despite the tears and the entreaties of her noble relations of the houses of the Piccolomini and the Amalfi...[took to the stage]...Rank, position, fortune, family traditions...were of no avail against the mighty tide of song that surged within the gentle breast of this girl of seventeen summers...[she has appeared in] Donizetti's opera of "Polinto"...the whole audience simultaneously rose and thundered forth their applause...After the first act the people lost all control over their feelings; they continued applauding...and showering bouquets at her feet'. From "Illustrated London News", 1856
