Lia Remondini (Soprano) (Roma, Italy 1883 - Pavia, Italy 1926)





She studied at the Accademia of Santa Cecilia in Rome under Zaira Falchi and later with  Ruzza. She made her debut in 1909 at the Teatro Vittorio Emanuele at Rimini in ‘’Loreley’’. She was married to the Italian conductor Guido Remondini. In 1926 she was diagnosed pulmonary tuberculosis and died at the Clinica Maugeri in Pavia, where she was hospitalized.

I wish to thank Severyan Tsagareyshvili for providing me this information.
