Asking Charles de Beauregard to publish an enclosed article about his wife, the soprano Élise Taccani Tasca, in "La Gazette de France". In the article he praises the skills of his wife, who is going to be touring through France: "Une célébrité musicale la comtesse Taccani-Tasca est dans ce moment de passage à Paris d'où elle ira faire une tournée artistique [...]. Les revers politiques qui ont bouleversé sa patrie et frappé sa famille vont rouvrir à la grande cantatrice dans la force de l'âge et dans tout l'éclat de ses moyens artistiques cette brillante carrière [...]".

Following the death of his first wife in 1832, Ottavio Tasca in 1835 remarried Élise Taccani Tasca (b. 1814). Their son Giulio Tasca (1838-1902) was a well-known Italian patriot and philanthropist.
