Giuseppina Bozzachi

Giuseppina Bozzachi (23 November 1853 - 23 November 1870) was an Italian-French ballerina.

Bozzachi created the role of Swanhilda in Léo Delibes' ballet "Coppélia" on 25 May 1870 at the age of 16. She danced the role only 18 times before the Paris Opéra closed for the duration of the Franco-Prussian War.

Bozzachi died of smallpox on the morning of her 17th birthday.
