Isotta

Isotta Nogarola (1418–1466) was an Italian writer and intellectual who is said to be the first major female humanist and one of the most important humanists of the Italian Renaissance. She inspired generations of artists and writers, among them Lauro Quirini and Ludovico Foscarini, and contributed to a centuries-long debate in Europe on gender and the nature of women.

Nogarola is best known for her 1451 work De pari aut impari Evae atque Adae peccato (trans. Dialogue on the Equal or Unequal Sin of Adam and Eve). She also wrote many other dialogues, poems, speeches, and letters, twenty-six of which survive.

Isotta Gervasi (1889 - 1967) was an Italian medical doctor. She was the first woman in Italy to work as a medical doctor. She worked in the Cervese area and, thanks to her determination to aid those in need, she acquired a legendary image over time, so much so that she was remembered as the "doctor of the poor" and the "angel on a bicycle".
