[4] Presumably due to her father's influence in the art world, in 1793 circa she was admitted as a pupil in the atelier of Jacopo Alessandro Calvi, with whom she would maintain a strong bond all her life.

[5][6] Still a 27 years old amateur, nominated by Gregorio Casali and Giuseppe Valiani, the 3 August 1799 she was accepted as an honorary member of the Accademia Clementina, a position that she may have lost for reasons that are unclear.

[10] In 1830 she is at the top of her career when Gaetano Giordani write about her in the book Notizie delle donne pittrici di Bologna.

[11] She never married[12] and she worked until late in life: she restored a painting by Garofalini when she was 70 years old on behalf of the Marquis Virgilio Davia.

[13] She lived for a long time in Palazzo Benati in Castiglione street, her sister's residence, but in 1854, at the death of Teresa, the painter needed to leave the place.
