Teresa Milanollo was an Italian violinist of the nineteenth century, born August 28, in 1827. She studied with French violinist DeBeriot, concertized for a while, but gave up her career upon marrying French General Theodore Parmentier in 1857. She would be almost completely unknown today if it were not for the fact that a famous Stradivari violin bears her name - the Milanollo Strad made in 1728, now being played by Corey Cerovsek. This violin was at one time played by Nicolo Paganini; however, Teresa Milanollo inherited it from Domenico Dragonetti. Some people are just lucky that way.
