My father, Salvatore Patti, a Sicilian, was a good tenor singer. My mother, a Roman, became a famous artist as Signora Barili—the name of her first husband.” Dwindling finances sent the family to New York when Adelina, whose birth name was .Adela Juana Maria Patti, was a baby. When she was seven years old, her parents suddenly became destitute. “In the emergency,” the singer “my mother considered that I had extraordinary vocal' talent, hit upon the idea of bringing me out in concert. And so I sang and soon won bread for the family.” The child made her debut at 'rnp- ler Hall, in New York, singing A from the “Barber,” in 1850. She was the juvenile prodigy of the day, and nearly ruined her voice by overwork. She appeared again at the age of 13.
