Rosa Taddei (August 30, 1799 – March 3, 1869) was an Italian actress and poet. She was also known by her married name Rosa Mozzidolfi.[1]
Although she considered herself a Neapolitan, Taddei may have been born in Trento or Corato. She was the daughter of Francesco Taddei; her father, mother and brother Luigi were all actors. She was considered one of the most beautiful and talented tragic actors of her day.[1] Taddei was best known as an "improvisatrice" or improvisational poet. She was a distinguished member of the Accademia degli Arcadi in Rome,[2] where she was known as Licori Partenopea. In 1832, she married Vincenzo Mozzidolfi.[1]
She died in Rome in 1869.[1]
