4Milanollo (mi-län-ôl'-lô), Maria. 1832-1848.
5Sister and inseparable companion of Teresa Milanollo; born in Savigliano. Her sister began giving her violin lessons when she was a very small child, and her ability appeared from the first. She made her debut in Boulogne when only six years old, and after that traveled always with her sister, appearing in Belgium, Germany and France, and creating a sensation on her appearance with her sister in 1843. In 1845 she played at a Philharmonic concert in London, upon which occasion the English critics condemned her technique as over-elaborate and exaggerated. With her sister she returned to Paris in 1848, and died there that same year.
7Milanollo, Teresa. 1827-1904.

After some lessons on the violin from Giovanni Ferrero, a musician of her native place, she was taken to Turin, where she became a pupil of Gebboro Mori at the Capella Carlo Alberto. She appeared a few times in concert and received such great applause that her parents decided to take her to Paris. At Marseilles, Teresa appeared in concert and was given a letter of introduction to Lafont. Arriving in Paris in 1837 she immediately became his pupil, playing five times at the Opéra Comique and making a tour with him through Holland and Belgium and England. Her sister Maria joined her and together they gave concerts in France, Holland and Belgium, returning to Paris in 1839. She appeared before Louis Philippe in Paris and at the Paris Conservatory, studied with De Bériot in Bologna, then traveled through Germany and Belgium. She appeared in London again in 1845. On the death of her sister in 1848 she retired, but gradually resumed concert work until her marriage to M. Charles Joseph Parmentier, when she retired permanently. From 1878 until she died she lived very quietly in Paris. Her compositions are Ave Maria, chorus for male voices; two romances; Fantaisie élégiaque for violin; transcript and variations for violin and piano.
