Camilla Marazzi (26 April 1885 in Lugano, Switzerland – October 1911 in Rome) was an Italian artist who died at a young age.
Marazzi was the daughter of Antonio Marazzi, a diplomat and anthropologist. She was also the niece of Fortunato Marazzi, a soldier, writer and senator. Marazzi was born in Lugano, Switzerland, where his father was on duty. She began to paint as a child. In 1901 her talent brought her under the tutelage of Giuseppe Ferrari in his atelier in Rome. In 1905 her health began to fail and she was misdiagnosed with tuberculosis. She had complex surgery and then left Rome to recover in her family villa in Moscazzano, near Crema. Further health problems forced her to come back to Rome for additional treatment. Unfortunately, she died in surgery at the age of twenty-six.[1][2]
