Biography

"Soccorso", oil painting, according to Emporium (a periodical; it), in 1932.[3] (The catalogue for an exhibition in 2012 at Reale Albergo delle Povere (Palermo) claims that this oil painting is from 1928, furthermore claiming it is called "The good Samaritan")[4]

Boglino grew up with her divorced mother. Boglino married, and settled in Palermo in 1927.[7][8]

According to a colleague from the years in Sicily Lia Pasqualina Noto (it) during the thirties it seems that Boglino had moved to Rome until her death.[9]

Boglino studied from 1923 to 1926 at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts under Sigurd Wandel[8][10]

One painting was purchased by Modern Art Gallery Sant'Anna (Palermo).
