Pitou 1715-1815, p. 89-90: "…arrived in Paris at age 16 and launched her career in France by appearing at the Opéra after becoming the mistress of the prince of Carignan, inspector general of the Opéra. The Italian ballerina chose an excellent time to make her debut as a dancer, because Camargo was still in retirement temporarily, while Marie La Sallé was about to lease the stage… La Barbarina was a performer of the more sensational sort with an acrobatic style and an exciting albeit spoiled personality…." [she is called to England by John Rich, brought back by Servandoni, but returns to England then Italy, where she is signed on by Frederick the Great.]
