She was the daughter of the doctor Antonio Medaglia, and married the doctor Pietro Antonio Faini in 1748. Her father arranged the marriage because he disliked her fame, and the marriage forced her to stop using love as a theme of her poems. She was a controversial poet, and stopped her activity in the academies when they tried to force her to adjust herself to accepted convention. She died during her studies in philosophy, history, French and science.
