Camilla Marazzi

Camilla Marazzi (26 April 1885 in Lugano, Switzerland – October 1911 in Rome) was an Italian artist who died at a young age.

She had complex surgery and then left Rome to recover in her family villa in Moscazzano, near Crema.

Further health problems forced her to come back to Rome for additional treatment.

[1][2] Her early death prevented Marazzi from reaching fame and artistic success.

Her artwork, generally charcoal, crayon and pencil portraits, vaguely symbolic-tasting, are "visions purified by the crayon technique in a tiny and lyric realism where psyche secrets run into the unfathomable mystery of faith".
