Gina Lombroso

Gina Elena Zefora Lombroso was an Italian physician, writer, psychiatrist, and criminologist, best remembered for her uncredited writings on the subjects of criminology and psychiatry co-authored with her father Cesare Lombroso, her individual writings on the female condition and industrialisation. She was the wife of Italian historian and writer Guglielmo Ferrero (1871-1942) and hence adopted the surname Ferrero-Lombroso. Their son Leo Ferrero (1903-1933), a writer and playwright, died in a car accident in Santa Fe (USA). All three are buried at the Cimetière des Rois in Geneva, Switzerland.
