Nogarola received training from Antonio Loschi, probably becoming his pupil.

She devoted herself to writing and poetry, particularly on religion and in Latin, even after marriage, composing some eclogues and obtaining success and wonder.

Informal correspondence was exchanged with Pandolfo III Malatesta, Giangaleazzo Visconti, Niccolò Facino, Matteo Orgian and Francesco Barbavara.

[1] Her style, influenced by Francesco Petrarca, was appreciated but considered far from the classic.

[2] One of her portraits in oil on canvas from the 18th century is kept in the rectorate of the University of Bologna.
