生平

[编辑]

戴文天娜·狄罗马女伯爵生于1832年或1833年的大英帝国保护国伊奥尼亚群岛合众国(今日的希腊),确切地点可能是赞庭歌赋伊萨基。戴文天娜在十一名兄弟姊妹中排第十,家母是奥秀娜伯爵夫人,家父是佐治奥·简迪亚奴·罗马伯爵,曾任伊奥尼亚参议院议长和伊奥尼亚群岛合众国虚位元首,更获维多利亚女皇任命为桂冠诗人。至于戴文天娜的家族可追溯至数个世纪前的伊奥尼亚群岛威尼斯管治时期英语Ionian Islands under Venetian rule,属社会上流。因此,戴文天娜家世富裕、教育良好、熟悉政府政治及外交。

1856年4月28日,戴文天娜在歌赋圣米迦勒和圣乔治宫嫁给宝云。来自阿尔斯特省的丈夫当时为合众国的政治助理,曾担任伊奥尼亚学院英语Ionian Academy的校长。戴文天娜在伊奥尼亚群岛先后诞下首两胎,长子出生后十二日夭折,次女在1858年8月17日出生,名为亚德莱德·戴文天娜·宝云,人称莲娜。

戴文天娜迁居布里斯班后,再生下三名孩子[2]

  • 苏怡·嘉露莲·宝云:1860年8月28日在临时总督府“阿德莱德府”出生[3]
  • 雅娜·赫伯·宝云:1862年7月26日在总督府英语Old Government House, Queensland出生[4]
  • 佐治·威廉·何活·宝云:1864年4月9日在总督府出生[5]

至于孻女雅法德·恩丝汀娜·雅毕天娜·宝云则在1869年4月10日于新西兰奥克兰总督府英语Old Government House, Auckland出生[6][7]

Diamantina was described as "pretty" but tempered perhaps by the remark "her beauty being in her expression rather than her features". She was described as "slender but graceful".

She could play the piano and sing well, even with previously unseen pieces of music.

Living most of her life in English-speaking countries, Diamantina spoke English well but with a slight accent. Although she spoke in English in public, it was claimed she spoke with her husband at home in Italian, her mother tongue. Diamantina was frequently described as "softly spoken".

Her husband's career took the family all over the world, as governor postings were typically for five years. We do not know how Diamantina felt about this frequent upheaval, but she cried copiously as the family departed from Brisbane, suggesting that she had had many close personal connections while there.

Her daughter Nina married Allan Campbell, a Queensland grazier.[8][9]

Eventually the couple retired to London, England in 1883 accompanied by their two unmarried daughters.

Diamantina worshipped in the Greek Orthodox church during retirement in London, suggesting she maintained her connection to her religious roots throughout her life, despite so many years spent in British colonies.

Diamantina died at Bethnal Green, London, England on 17 November 1893[10] from acute bronchitis. She is buried in Kensal Green cemetery英语Kensal Green cemetery in London.

Her son George William Howard Bowen married Gertrude Chamberlain (daughter of Richard Chamberlain英语Richard Chamberlain (MP for Islington West) and niece of Joseph Chamberlain, Colonial Secretary英语Secretary of State for the Colonies) on 16 January 1896 in Holy Trinity Church, Sloane Street英语Sloane Street, London, England. His sister Alfreda was a bridesmaid.[10][11][12]

Her daughter Alfreda married Robert Lydston Newman in October 1899 at St George's Church, Hanover Square, London, England.[10][13] Her brother George gave Alfreda away (her father having died earlier that year).

A sculpture of Diamantina was created by sculptor Phillip Piperides in 1989 for the Greek Community Centre, South Brisbane, Queensland. In June 2009, it was moved to Old Government House英语Old Government House, Queensland at Queensland University of Technology.

Public life in Queensland

[编辑]

George, Diamantina and their sixteen-month-old daughter Nina arrived in Brisbane on Saturday 10 December 1859 on board The Cordelia. As they stepped off their vessel at a landing stage at the Brisbane Botanic Gardens at Gardens Point英语Gardens Point, Brisbane, they were welcomed by a huge crowd of over 4000 people waving flags, both the British Union Jack and the Greek flag[来源请求]. The arrival of the first governor and his family had been eagerly expected a few days earlier, but adverse winds had delayed their trip up from Sydney and so when the news came late on Friday that their vessel was seen entering Moreton Bay, the excitement reached enormous heights. As well as residents of Brisbane, many of those present had travelled from other parts of Queensland to welcome the incoming governor. There was a 21-gun salute as they landed, there was a triumphal arch, fireworks and all manner of proclamations, speeches and celebrations, over a number of days.

Being the first Governor, there was not yet an official residence for the Governor and so they lived in Adelaide House (now The Deanery of St John's Cathedral) which was leased for three years.

Diamantina participated in the public life in Queensland in a number of ways:

  • as wife of the Governor
  • to the social tone of Brisbane through her sense of style, education and accomplishments
  • to charity through her active patronage

Being still very much a prosperous but pioneer community on her arrival, Diamantina's dinner parties soon became the highlight of the social scene and she is credited with raising the tone of Brisbane society.

Meanwhile, the official residence (now Old Government House英语Old Government House, Queensland) was being constructed and the family moved into the house in April 1862. It was an elegant and spacious building, constructed of sandstone and Brisbane tuff英语Brisbane tuff (sometimes incorrectly referred to as porphyry), in the Classic Revival style. Its grounds were surrounded by thirty acres (twelve hectares) of riverbank land, including the Brisbane City Botanic Gardens which were commenced at the same time under the supervision of Walter Hill英语Walter Hill (garden curator). Diamantina personally supervised the layout of the gardens of the house, which included lawns, tennis courts as well as flower and vegetable gardens. On 16 June 1862, the couple hosted the first ball in the new building, celebrating Queen Victoria's birthday.

In 1864 at Ipswich, Queensland, Diamantina turned the first sod for Queensland's first railway-line between Ipswich and Bigge's Camp (later Grandchester英语Grandchester, Queensland) using with a silver spade and a cedar wheelbarrow.

Diamantina was involved in establishing the first Sunday School for children.

Diamantina was concerned about social welfare in Brisbane and was an active patroness of a group of local ladies who established the Lady Bowen Lying-In Hospital, Brisbane's first maternity hospital, the fore-runner of the present Royal Brisbane Women's Hospital英语Royal Brisbane Women's Hospital.

布里斯班旧总督府附近的戴文天娜·宝云爵士夫人雕像

戴文天娜在昆士兰广受欢迎,因此境内多处地方以其芳名命名:

In 1898 a statue of Lady Bowen was commissioned by Angelo Efstathis and sculptured by Brisbane artist Peter Piperides for the Greek Community Centre in South Brisbane. When Old Government House英语Old Government House, Queensland was re-opened after restoration by Queensland University of Technology, on 5 August 2009 the statue was relocated to the western lawn of Old Government House (the western side of the house being the "female" side).[18][19]
