Anna Maria Partini (1924-2022), researcher, writer, goldsmith, and refined ceramist, was a special woman who left an extraordinary and unforgettable mark on the world of culture and on all those who had the good fortune to know her. She conducted important and original historical studies on Hermeticism and the alchemical disciplines of the seventeenth century. In her books, she brought to light previously unknown aspects of figures such as Athanasius Kircher, the Marquis of Palombara, Francesco Maria Santinelli, Queen Christina of Sweden, Cecco d’Ascoli, and Friar Elia. President of the Accademia Tiberina, she was a tireless protagonist of cultural activities and numerous conferences at academies, libraries, and cultural institutes. Her works have been published by Edizioni Mediterranee and Edizioni Simmetria.
