Daughter of George Giles and artist Anna Rose Main.
Ellen Rose Giles was an artist, ethnographer, photographer, and journalist from a wealthy Philadelphia family, who spent the last ten years of her life in Sardinia. She died in Sassari by gunshot under mysterious circumstances. Her death was dismissed as suicide, though murder by a local nobleman who may have been her lover is more likely.
The case has never been solved, and is still discussed in Italy today, especially because a white flower mysteriously appears on her grave daily.
