A multi-facetted personality of artist and scholar, among the most popular young Italian violinists of her time,[1] she is also known for her testimony of courage in the fight against cancer[2] and for the deep experience of Faith gained in the last months of her life, which ended at the age of 24.

[5][6] Born into an ancient family,[7] she graduated in violin at the Conservatory of Benevento when she was only 17,[8] attaining First Class Honours with Distinction, under the guide of her mentor Massimo Bacci.

[8] After that, in her short but intense career, she took many specialist courses in violin like the one with Pierre Amoyal at the Mozarteum University of Salzburg, with Pavel Vernikov at the International Academy of Portogruaro and at the Fiesole School of Music, and with Eugen Sârbu at London.

[13] Martin Berkofsky, with whom Nobile played in duo, will declare: "Our concert was the greatest and most wonderful musical experience I had in seventy years of life.

[16] In December 2008, she released her first book "Il silenzio delle parole nascoste" ("the silence of hidden words"), followed by "Oxymoron", published by Aracne Editrice in 2012.

[8] As first Artistic Director, she is committed to the Academy launch, also for the purpose of exporting it outside its region,[17] taking care of the three-year concert program, new formula on the whole national territory.

Her work helped to lay the foundations for the rapid entry of the academy into the Fund for the Performing Arts (FUS) of the Italian Ministry of Cultural Heritage.

[26] In Rome, together with some other young scholars, she founded the group "Almost Curators", with the aim of connecting contemporary art experts with general public.

[27] In October 2011, when she was 22, Nobile was diagnosed with melanoma; she fronted every possible cure and various surgical interventions[29] while keeping on her musical and artistic career, alternating concerts and hospitals recoveries.

On the newspaper La Stampa, Sandro Cappelletto said: “The more the treatment was hard and the diagnosis got worse, the more her music became a form of rebellion to her destiny, her real life, never losing a bit of quality”.

In the last months of her life, Carlotta lived a deep faith experience,[36][37][38][39] born suddenly on 4 March 2013 at her awakening from a crisis that brought her to the Hospital of Milan for a few days.

[40] This fact, perceived like a revelation, was anonymously told by Carlotta on her blog dedicated to cancer in the last post before her death: I'm healed in my soul.

Her spirituality was considerably inspired by Pope Francis's sermon calling young people to bear the cross with joy (24 March 2013 Homily).

Just in the moments of the phone call, Nobile was seized by a cerebral crisis in the Hospital of Carrara, where she had gone as a volunteer musician of the "Music Donors".

On waking up in the ward, on the morning of 11 April 2013, after having recovered lucidity, still in bed and in the company of his mother, she reported that she was having a trinitarian vision consisting of a luminous triangle on the chamber wall.

[45][46] That letter reads in part: Dear Pope Francis,You have changed my life.I am honored and blessed to be able to carry the Cross with Joy at the age of 24.

"Give us this day our daily bread" and "Deliver us from evil" Amen.I entrust this dream of mine to Don Giuseppe and I trust in God!Pray for me, Holy Father.

Thanks to Don Trappolini, Nobile was about to meet personally the pope, but in May 2013 her condition started to get worse and so she went back to Benevento, and she spent the last months of her life in her family house.

After having read some fragments and personal messages through which Carlotta announced calmly the "healing" of her soul, the Rector of the Church Mgr Mario De Santis preached in his homily: «Young people, move, walk and find yourselves!

Today it’s not a sad day, on the contrary the bells will ring in a festive way because even if we cry for having lost a person, on the other side this event offers us the meaning of Resurrection».

[52] A few months later, on Carlotta's birthday, she will be publicly remembered by the Archbishop of Benevento Andrea Mugione as "an extraordinary example of Faith and love ending with sacrifice".

If today our friend Nobile reminds us that a sudden listening to an inner light, a dream, a word of the Gospel, a rediscovered certainty is enough, the safe way of death is the way of Life!

[73][74][75] Thanks to the will of Donatori di Musica group, the music hall of the cancer ward of San Maurizio Hospital in Bolzano has borne her name from 6 August 2014.

[76][77][78][79] On 20 September 2016 the Benevento city Council disclosed that the nursery school in via Firenze has been named after Carlotta Nobile, because of her "extraordinary example of Faith, love and life".

Carlotta is a positive example of the spirit of resilience Pope Francis always talks about: in fact she fronted the adversities with a deep strength and courage.

[82][83] On 4 March 2017, during the inauguration of the academic year, the "Nicola Sala" State Conservatory of Music of Benevento names a Classroom of the institute after Carlotta Nobile, in the presence of the Minister of Education, Universities and Research of the Italian Republic Valeria Fedeli and of the highest civil, military and religious authorities of the city.
