AGANOOR POMPILJ, VITTORIA. - Writer b. in Padua on 26 May 1855, d. in Rome on 7 May 1910, of an Armenian family, distinguished herself in Venice through countless charitable works, among which was the founding of the college of the Mechitarists on the island of S. Lazzaro. She was a pupil of Zanella and of Nencioni, praised by Carducci. She decided late to publish her verses, which express a profound sorrow, in need of peace. Worthy of remembrance are the Leggenda eterna (divided into three parts: Leggenda eterna; Intermezzo; Risveglio) and the Nuove Liriche.
