A graduate of the University of Florence alongside Mario Salmi, she taught at the University of Salento and the Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa. In 1991, she received a Feltrinelli Prize from the Accademia dei Lincei alongside Enrico Castelnuovo, with whom she would go on to undertake restoration work of the Camposanto Monumentale di Pisa.
