Ada Mangilli

She mainly painted small oil canvases, some sold in the Netherlands by the merchant signor Hohlender.

She also painted oil models, exhibited in 1879, for two mosaics on the left door of the Cathedral of Florence, depicting the blessed Bonifazio Lupi, Marquis of Soragna, founder of a Florentine charitable institution, and Piero di Luca Borsi, a popolano during the Republic, that had established the Arch-Confraternity of the Misericordia.

Among her works are: Baccante (gold medal at Exhibition of Fine Arts of Ferrara, and owned by the Pinacoteca), costume medioevale and Floralia.

She painted a large canvas depicting Young Agrippa, exhibited at the Mostra Italiana del 1889 in London.

At the Mostra Beatrice di Lavori femminili in 1890 at Florence, she exhibited a series of life-size figures: Le tre Marie, which won the first prize, a gold medal, for painting.
