She earned degrees in mathematics from the University of Turin in 1924 and in physics from the University of Cagliari in 1927. She obtained a position in mathematical physics at Cagliari, later moving to the institute of theoretical mechanics there. Her research concerned higher dimensional rigid body dynamics, the theory of relativity, and inductance.[1][2]

She was an invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in 1928.[3][4]

She died in Cagliari in 1993.[5]
