1956. I was born in Formicola (Caserta) from Carlo Santarcangelo and Rita Altieri

1979. I married  Carlo Petri,  a nuclear physicist in Pisa.

1983. I gave birth to Giovanni Petri, who became a theoretical physicist

1988. My husband died.

Physics has been very important in my life...but I prefer mathematics. I like also Gregorian chants, yiddish literature, Giacomo Leopardi  and medieval art.

I am not very talkative, but I am so happy to have few very good friends.
