Born in 1874 in Viterbo, Natalina known as Lina Cavalieri became an orphan at 15 years old.

A symbol of feminine beauty, she arouses admiration. In 1913, she married for the second time the Italian tenor Lucien Muratore. She died with her fourth husband in the bombing of Florence on February 8, 1944.
