Giulia Turco

In the 1850s she wrote for the magazine Rivista delle signorine, where she published a series of articles and short stories under the pseudonym "Jacopo Turco".

Here she began a series of works which can be classified as lifestyle guides for young women and expounded the virtues of travel, charity, floral design, natural medicines and cooking.

[1] Her cultural interests later brought her to support artists and musicians in both her native Trento and Venice, where she also had a home.

Another was the naturalist artist Bartolomeo Bezzi, whose "attachment to his native land is a constant aspect of his life and during his stays in Trentino he was a frequent visitor to the cultural circle of Baroness Giulia Turco Lazzari, in such company as Eugenio Prati, Luigi Nono, Angelo dall'Oca Bianca and many other artists, critics, writers and musicians".

[3] By the end of the 19th century, her main focus was on gastronomy and she created a large recipe file and catalogue maintained between 1899 and 1901 with Pellegrino Artusi.
