Princess Maria Anna of Saxony (1799–1832)

Marie Anna of Saxony (15 November 1799 – 24 March 1832), (full name: Maria Anna Carolina Josepha Vincentia Xaveria Nepomucena Franziska de Paula Franziska de Chantal Johanna Antonia Elisabeth Cunigunde Gertrud Leopoldina), was a princess of Saxony.

Marie Anna was born in Dresden, one of the seven children of Maximilian of Saxony by his first wife Caroline of Bourbon-Parma.

During her short life she showed a special interest for ancient paintings and classical poetry, acquiring the Liber Interitus by Horace for an unknown but extremely high price.

Annunziata, the first female boarding school in Florence set up to educate aristocratic and noble young ladies.
