Teresa, Countess Guiccioli, Italian noblewoman and writer. She was the last of Lord Byron's Italian mistresses. The Teresa Guiccioli manuscript material in the Pforzheimer Collection consists of writings and correspondence. The writings consist of a four-part autobiographical work; various notebooks recording her thoughts and activities; and accounts relating to the life of Lord Byron. The bulk of the correspondence is dated between 1820 and 1822. Correspondents include Lady Blessington, the Irish-born writer and literary hostess; Lord Byron, the English poet (her lover); Victor Hugo, the French writer; Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley, the English novelist; and over a dozen others.
