Aurora Sanseverino (28 April 1669 – 2 July 1726) was an Italian noblewoman, salon-holder, patron and poet. One of the most celebrated women in the highest rank of the Neapolitan aristocracy,[1] she was known for her great cultural activity as a patron and mecenat of art and for her famous cultural salon in Naples, and correspondent of several contemporary culture personalities that made her a central figure in baroque Italy.[2]
Remembered as a "very beautiful, kind and lively lady",[3] she also contributed much to giving women a dignified place in the cultural circles of Neapolitan society of the time.[3]
