An Italian novelist; born Sept. 5, 1828, died 1898. She made extensive travels (1838-50), and in 1851 became the wife of the Chevalier Karl von Gerstenbrand. Her first work, "Memoirs of a Peasant" (1856), evinced a true insight into lowly life; and in the numerous sketches and tales that followed it, she showed a profound sympathy with the common people. Her writings passed through several editions. Among her works are: "Miseries and Splendors of the Poor"; "The New Rich"; "A Lady of Heart".
