The purpose of this study is to present the career of Adriana Ferrarese del Bene and to discuss the musical environment of the Ospedale dei Mendicanti where Ferrarese studied music. Although Ferrarese is usually known as the first singer to perform the role of Fiordiligi in Mozart's Cosi Fan Tutte , this study focuses on her career before her arrival in Wien and, above all, on her interrelation with the musical activity of the Mendicanti . Due to Mozart's great name, to his prominence and also to the intimate relationship between Ferrarese and Lorenzo Da Ponte, her career in Italy did not attract much interest till now. Nevertheless analysing the situation of the Ospedale dei Mendicanti at that time and investigating the scandal of" elope" in 1783, we can find in Ferrarese a musician who tried actively to establish her position among difficult circumstances. This paper consists of four parts: 1) Preface 2) The early musical activity of the Ospedale dei Mendicanti and three women teachers of music (Marietta Giusti, Franceschina dal Basso, Cattarina da Udine) 3) The Maestri del Coro of the Mendicanti 4) The early career of Adriana Ferrarese
