Diamante

Diamante Medaglia Faini (28 August 1724 – 13 June 1770) was an Italian poet. She was known for her love poems, and also composed sonnets and madrigals. She was a controversial poet, and stopped her activity in the academies when they tried to force her to adjust herself to accepted convention. She died during her studies in philosophy, history, French and science.

Diamante Maria Scarabelli was an Italian soprano singer of the later 17th century and the early 18th century. She is best remembered for having sung the part of Poppea in the premiere of George Frederic Handel's opera "Agrippina", a role that requires a wide vocal range, a fairly high tessitura, and a highly developed virtuoso technique. Her great success at Bologna in the 1697 pasticcio Perseo inspired the publication of a volume of eulogistic verse, entitled "La miniera del Diamante".
