Biographical
Note |
Natalia
Aróstegui Bolognini was born to a prominent family
in the city of Camagüey, Cuba. Her father, Gonzalo
Aróstegui y del Castillo, was a famous Cuban surgeon
who also served as Secretary of Education in the 1920s.
Natalia
Aróstegui was recognized as a beautiful woman who
set an outstanding example amongst her peers. Along with
María Teresa García de Giberga, Aróstegui
founded the "Pro Arte Musical" Society in December
1919 to promote the arts and music in Cuba. Aróstegui
worked as the first librarian for the Society and was the
dean of music and singing courses, being a performer herself
with a melodic and beautiful voice.
Natalia
married the famous violinist Remo E. Bolognini from Argentina
after she lost her first husband. Mr. Bolognini spent most
of his life touring the world. Aróstegui served as
a vice consul of Cuba in New York for almost thirty years
before the Castro regime. |
