Lili Boulanger (1893-1918) and her older sister Nadia (1887-1979) and were born into a distinguished family: their father Ernest was a violin professor at the Paris Conservatoire whose parents and grandparents had likewise been important musicians, and their mother was a Russian princess of formidable education who married her singing teacher.
Lili Boulanger was thus for all intents and purposes a famous woman by the time she arrived in Rome, along with her mother, for her prize sojourn.
Lili was in fragile health all her life, suffering from a variety of conditions we now identify as the hereditary Crohn's disease, complicated at the end by tuberculosis.
