LUISA, an Italian widely dispersed throughout the world, soprano, born at Florence, in 1874. When quite young she sang operas which she had heard from her elder sister, Eva, practice, and after three months' study under Cecherini at the Liceo Musicale of Florence made her debut as Inez in L'Africaine, and sang in Rome and other cities. Later she toured Russia and Spain, and was acclaimed at Buenos Aires. After visiting Mexico and California she sang at Covent Garden, Lon- LUISA TETRAZZINI don, in 1907, and in New York, in 1908.

These tours established her reputation and she was acclaimed a successor to Patti. In recent years she has sung in the chief cities of Europe and America.
