The Australian artist Dora Ohlfsen Bagge and her soulmate, the Russian noblewoman Hélène de Kuegelgen, had lived together in Rome for almost half a century. They died together on 7 February 1948 because of a gas leak. They are buried together in a common grave at the Protestant Cemetery in Rome. The inscription on their tombstone is written in Italian and its English translation reads: "Dora Ohlfsen Bagge / Australian by birth / Italian by heart / And for benevolence in the 1915–1918 war / Famous sculptor painter musician / Baroness Helene De Kuegelgen / Rich of philanthropic virtue / Elected souls – Inseparable friends / They found together the eternal rest / On 7 February 1948 / In the last expression of a friendship / Stronger than death / Lord, give them the peace of the good!".
