Biography edit
Her parents were Ernesto and Olga Ferrari.[1]
She worked at the National Research Council and later as a professor at the Università degli studi di Napoli. She was also a professor of physics at nautical institutes and in charge of electrical engineering in the University of Bari. Her principal area of expertise was in electromagnetism and communications. electric.[1]
She was an invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in 1928 at Bologna, Italy, and gave a talk titled I trasformatori telefonici.[2][3]
During World War II, she worked in a telephone office in Milan, where she joined the Italian resistance movement.[4] She built and operated a radio station that sent intelligence on German troop movements to other parts of the resistance in southern Italy.[5]
