Patrizia is the second eldest of eight children. She was born in Tuscany, at her father's vineyard, some twenty miles from Florence. Having a fine singing voice from a young age, she had lessons paid for her at the recently established Conservatorio di Musica in Florence by the mayor of their local town. She gained a part in the opera chorus in 1800 and has been working her way up through the ranks since then. In 1809 she had her first lead role in Cherubini's Medea.
In 1807 she met George Hackett who was on his Grand Tour. They became lovers and in 1808 their son Silvio Selwyn Dell'Angelo was born. George was obliged to return to England due to his father's ill health in February 1811 but he has promised to support their son's upkeep and education. Since his departure, Patrizia has moved back to her family home apart from when she has an opera on, so that her mother and sisters can always be on hand to look after her son.
Patrizia is a NPC belonging to Rose.
