With her first marriage and no longer able to attend painters' studios given her social position, Teresa decided to host artists from time to time in her home, and in 1834 she presented two of her canvases at the Academy's Exhibition of Fine Arts.
From her second marriage to Pietro Sozzi, two children were born, with whom Teresa settled mainly in the Sozzi family palace in Caprino. After a long period in which she gave up painting to care for her children, Teresa, took up her brushes again and, in 1844, returned to present some of her paintings at the Exposition of Carrara.
When the insurrectional uprisings of 1848 broke out, she threw herself headlong into the battle, supplying weapons to the revolutionary patriots and helping wounded and needy families.
When the Austrians returned to Lombardy, Teresa fled to Switzerland, never abandoning contact with other Italian exiles, waiting to resume the battle.
When the uprisings of 1859 arose, she hosted in the palace of Caprino, Giuseppe Garibaldi, who at the head of his "hunters of the Alps" was proceeding toward Bergamo to free it from the Austrians.
Teresa died in 1862.
