She has painted many portraits, both in oils and water-colors, and has been appointed a teacher in at least two Government schools in Naples. <b>RODIANA, ONORATA.</b> Was a contemporary of the saintly Caterina de Vigri, but was of quite another order of women.

Many honors were paid to the memory of Caterina de Vigri. She was chosen as the protectress of Academies and Art Institutions, and in the eighteenth century a medal was coined, on which she is represented as painting on a panel held by an angel.

<b>VIGRI, CATERINA DE.</b> Lippo Dalmasii was much admired by Malvasia, who not only extols his pictures, but his spirit as well, and represents him as following his art as a religion, beginning and ending his daily work with prayer.
