Pilot woman. Born in a wealthy family she got her pilot license at 19, and in within a few months she conquered the front pages of newspapers participating at the Tour of Lombardy by plane and completing a European raid (eight countries on board of a light aircraft Breda 15). This success lead her to a more ambiciuos project; a flight from Milan to Delhi. During the crossing, however, she plummeted in the Libyan desert because of a sandstorm.
