Opera Singer, Soprano. Daughter of the street mandolinist, Carlo Giorgi, she too began to perform very early as a street singer, following her father, according to some of her, together with the cellist barber Domenico Dragonetti, according to others. What is certain is that in 1777/1778, on her wanderings through southern Europe, she arrived in Paris where the encounter that changed her life took place. The sources also differ on the nature of this meeting, according to some she would have been noticed by none other than Antonio Sacchini, who was quickly trained by him and then hired at the Opéra Comique, according to others, she would have been noted instead by the appointed Director of the Académie Royale de Musique, Anne-Pierre-Jacques Devismes, who, again after training by Sacchini, would have had her hired for the Opéra. The news about his stay in Paris are however very uncertain, as well as those relating to her subsequent transfer to London, what is certain is that here he met the dancer and choreographer Zaccaria Banti whom she married in Amsterdam in 1779 and whose surname he also adopted as her stage name. After passing through Vienna in 1780, Banti decided to return to Italy, engaged, for the carnival season 1782/1783, by the Teatro San Benedetto in Venice, where she enjoyed considerable success in the premieres of Francesco Bianchi's Pyramus and Thisbe and Attalo, re di Bitinia by Giuseppe Sarti, as well as in a reprise of Bertoni's Orfeo ed Euridice that aroused the enthusiasm of an exceptional listener such as the Irish tenor Michael Kelly. She sang successively in Turin, Milan, again in Venice, and also, in 1786/87, in Warsaw. In the same 1787 she finally landed at the San Carlo Theater in Naples, creating the role of Sofonisba in the first performance of the African Scipio by Francesco Bianchi, and also performing works by Paisiello, Anfossi and Guglielmi. In June 1792 you took part in the inauguration of the new Gran Teatro La Fenice in Venice. After a short season in Madrid in 1793, from 1794 to 1802 she was hired as principal soprano at the King's Theater in London, where she made her debut with the role of Semiramide in Bianchi's opera. Returning to Italy in the autumn of 1802, she continued for a few years to perform at both the Scala and the Fenice, but her voice was deteriorating and she was therefore forced to retire just a few years before she died.
