Markiza Luisa Casati je bila nasledinica,veleposednica, mecena i muza, obozavala je umetnost i pod svojim okriljem uvek imala najpoznatije fotografe, pisce i slikare.Smatra se da je ona posle Kleopatre i Device Marije zena koja je najvise zastupljenja u umetnosti. Njene lude zurke, nubijske sluskinje obojene zlatom, neobicni ljubimci i zivot na visokoj nozi su vec postali legenda
Luisa Casati je rodjena u 1881 u Milanu u izuzetno bogatoj porodici (otac joj je bio najveci proizvidjac pamuka), kao mladja od dve cerke, njena urodjena ljubav prema umetnosti je bila dodatno rasplamsana cestim posetama galeriji i izlozbama. Jako je rano izgubila majku (sa 13 godina) potom, dve godine kasnije oca, i to je nju i njenu sestru ucinilo najbogatijim zenama u Italiji tog vremena. Ubrzno posle toga se i udala za mladog Milanskog plemica i posle godinu dana dobila cerku. Predvidiv brak i miran zivot nije mogao da zadovolji njenu nemirnu prirodu i ona se upustila u aferu sa jednim Italijanskim piscem koji je likove u svojim delima gradio po njoj... Ovo je bio samo pocetak onoga po cemu ce se pamtiti zivot Luise Casati.
Zivela je zivotom na viskoj nozi na relaciji, Venecija, Paris, Capri, kupovala je vile od kojih je zastajao dah, ekstravagantan nakit, priredjivala lude maskembale koji su se prepricavali, upoznalava i odusevljavala najvecu aristokrate tog vremena(Lucino Visconti, Coco Chanel, Jean Cocteau). Koliko je bilo dekadentna govori u prilog cinjenica da je nosila zivu zmiju oko vrata kao ogrlicu, krzno na golo telo, a kao ljubimca imala Pantera - upravo ce taj Panter posluziti kao inspiracija za cuvenog Cartierovog pantera. U sklopu svog doma u Parizu je imala galeriju sa vise od 130 svojih slika, posmatrala je sebe kao zivo umetnicko delo. Ipak smatra se da je svoje bogatstvo nesebicno delila sa umetinicima i da bi na taj nacin obezbedila sebi besmrtnost kroz slike i skulpture i u tome uspela.
Zahvaljujuci raskalasnom zivotnom stilu 30 godina je bila duzna cak 25 miliona dolara i bila je prinidjena da svoje stvari prodaje na aukciji, na kojoj se nadmetala i Coco Chanel. Neka od tih dela su sada u galerijama, ali velikog vecini, nazalost ne moze da se udje u trag...Postoje dve verzije o tome kako je provela zadnje godine zivota po jednoj je zivela istim zarom uz finansijsku podrsku svoje dece i lojalnih prijatelja, a po drugoj je zavrsila zivot u najvecoj bedi.
