Born in Magdeburg? Date of birth supposition. Married Anselmo Vivanti in 1853; 4 children, among them Annie Vivanti. They had to leave Italy in 1855, lived in London for a while, where she kept a salon visited by many intellectuals and artists (a.o. Karl Marx). When Carducci introduced Annie Vivanti to the Italian reader he attributed to Anna Lindau also poetry activities (Ein Apriltag, 1867); she contributed also to the newspaper Die Gegenwart of her brother Paul, but her main literary activity were stories for children and travel reports (A Journey to Crete, Constantinople, Naples, and Florence: three months abroad, by Anna Vivanti, London : [s.n.], 1865). -- In a letter of Jenny Marx to Kate Freiligrath of 24 dec.1868 we find a concise description: "a strange little woman, ugly and shapeless, but full of live and spirit. She is called Mrs. Vivanti, she married an italian and she is a fervent admirarer of Dante, whom she knows very well. She reminds me of that woman that Balzac portrays in the Recherce de l'Absolu".
