Zappelli Maria Rita
Maria Rita Zappelli was born in the Umbrian town of Trevi but moved at a young age to Perugia, where she studied Classical Literature.
She was intrigued by traditions in all its aspects, she later received a diploma in Herbalism. She opened Perugia’s first store for herbal medicine, which she only recently left. Her love for Perugia, the curiosity for the memories of the past and the work for their preservation, to avoid losing the cultural heritage that they embody, inspired this book.
