Teresa, Contessa Guiccioli
Teresa, Contessa Guiccioli (1800–1873) was the married lover[1] of Lord Byron while he was living in Ravenna, Italy and writing the first five cantos of Don Juan.[2] She wrote the biographical account Lord Byron's Life in Italy.[3]
Alexandre Dumas included her as a minor character in his novel The Count of Monte Cristo using the disguised name "Countess G-".[4] Lord Byron also used this shortened name in his journals.
