Vittoria Caldoni

This proved to be very profitable for her family, enabling them to move into larger quarters and begin renting rooms to travelers; mostly artists.

One of their tenants was an aspiring Ukrainian painter named Grigory Ignatevich Lapchenko [ru; fr; it; de].

Grigory became seriously ill with an unspecified condition that affected his eyesight, so he had to give up his plans to become a painter and worked as a minor government official.

Her life in Russia was not well documented (which was common there at that time), so no reliable information exists regarding her date and place of death.

She was generally portrayed in local costume or allegorical garb, often with attributes that referred to representations of the Madonna.
