Alessia Russell

Alessia Russell (née Marchesi) (born 1891-1983) was an Italian witch and was the last child and only daughter of Riccardo Marchesi and Giulia Ferrari. She is the youngest in her family and had a close relationship with her older brother Romeo. Alessia was liked very much by everyone around her. One of her parents' friends once wrote to them saying that Alessia was the 'sweetest, kindest and most well-behaved child' they had ever seen. Like her brother, she was also described as a beauty who inherited her mother Giulia's beautiful genes. 
Alessia met her future husband James when she went on a trip to England just after she had graduated. James was a year older than her. They began a long distance relationship and after a few months, Alessia managed to convince her parents to let her move to England to live with James. After seven years of dating, the two finally married. Together, they had three children together, one daughter and two sons - Felix Russell, Tessa Sharrow (née Russell) and Finn Russell. When James died in 1977, Alessia was absolutely devastated. At first, she refused to eat or even leave her room. After a while, she returned back to her normal state, but she would often still think of James and miss him very much. Alessia wrote letters to him in her diary and her son Felix would often notice that she seemed to be talking to herself, but quickly realised she was talking to her husband. Alessia herself died six years later in 1983 at the age of 92 and was buried next to her husband James.
