Marianna Creti de Rocchis (1822-1890)
Marianna Creti De Rocchis enjoyed a considerable reputation in Italy as a harpist and a teacher of the harp. She may be remembered, if at all, as the teacher of Rita Perozzi, for whom Rossini wrote, and as the composer of a Fantasia on Bellini’s ‘Casta Diva’ (from the opera Norma).
