[2] Remembered as a "very beautiful, kind and lively lady",[3] she also contributed much to giving women a dignified place in the cultural circles of Neapolitan society of the time.

Her circle included some of the kingdom's most prominent scholars and thinkers, most notably Giambattista Vico, Gian Vincenzo Gravina and Giuseppe Valletta.

[4] In 1691 she joined the Accademia degli Arcadi in Rome, under the name of Lucinda Coritesia, being one of the first women to be accepted to the academy.

[8] She is best known for her collaboration with George Frideric Handel, commissioning the serenata Aci, Galatea e Polifemo for the wedding of her niece Princess Beatrice di Montemiletto and Tolomeo Saverio Gallo, Duke of Alvito, which took place in Naples on 19 July 1708.

[8] In 1716, Aurora and her husband commissioned Alessandro Scarlatti's La Gloria di Primavera, on a text by her private secretary Niccolò Giuvo, on the occasion of the birth of Archduke Leopold, son of Charles VI and Elisabeth Christine, although the child was destined to live only 7 months.
