12 x 18" Dead in a fourth childbirth at 26, she's buried in Genoa; her husband was well to do and had her portrait made in marble by G. B. Villa, whose work appears throughout the Staglieno monumental cemetery there. She knew the risks of pregnancy and childbirth at that time, but being an optimist and loving him so much, she took the risks.
