Maria was a child prodigy; she could speak both Italian and French at five years of age and by age 11 she spoke seven languages. Age 12 suffered a mysterious illness and began to experience convulsions.

This didn't stop her from learning and and she loved Maths. At 30 years old, Maria published a calculus textbook published. This two-volume work was written in Italian which was rare for time as Latin was the language of scholarship. Maria wrote it in Italian because she wanted the book to be accessible to all students. The book gained the respect of mathematicians around Europe and became the go to for the treatment of calculus.

After her father's death in 1752, Maria transformed her home into a refuge for the poor and, when Milan's newest hospital opened in 1771 she accepted the appointment as director of the women's ward.
