1738, died 1790) was a poet and playwright best known for Almida, her free translation of Voltaire's Tancrède (1760) notable for its emphasis on the heroine.

She was educated at home, and in 1758 she married Pietro Paolo Celesia (d. 1806), Ambassador to England (1755 to 1759).

[1] David Garrick visited her when in Italy and produced her blank verse tragedy, Almida, at the Drury Lane Theatre.

[2] The play premiered on 1 January 1771 and had a successful run of ten nights, which afforded Celesia with some short-lived celebrity.

Her version of the story is notable for its shift of focus from the warrior Tancred, as in Voltaire's original, to Almida, the heroine, and the latter's assertion of her right to choose her own spouse.
