"Infatuated with herself, always classically draped, her magnificent hair her only coiffure, she was strange in her personality and her ways. She would appear at gatherings like a goddess descending from the clouds. At her request, her husband would lead her to a quiet corner of the room where she would allow people to admire her as if she were a shrine; absent amid the crowd, she would meet with glacial calm the indiscreet stares of her admirers (...)”

General Fleury on Virginia Oldoini, Countess di Castiglione

Virginia Elisabetta Luisa Antonietta Teresa Maria Oldoini, Countess of Castiglione- Photo by Pierre-Louis Pierson

The Countess was a very significant figure in the early history of photography.

She is remembered among photography historians as a subject of 700 different photos in which she re-created the special moments of her life for the camera. She acted like a producer and art director of her own photo-shoots.

Photographs of the infamous Countess of Castiglione as “la Ritrosetta”, retouched by the Countess herself:

“A study for a large painted version, this photograph was summarily retouched by the countess with instructions (on the back) suggesting that the composition was intended to set off her elegant attitude and majestic gown: “The remains of a ball where fire has broken out. A chandelier on the floor, everyone in flight. Shining white satin gown, black and red grapes with dark green and red leaves”
