Anna Radius Zuccari

Anna Radius Zuccari (May 7, 1846 – July 13, 1918) was an Italian writer who used the pen name Neera.

Her mother died when she was ten and she was raised by two older unmarried aunts from her father's family.

Zuccari contributed to various magazines and journals, such as Rivista d'Italia, Nuova Antologia [it], L'Illustrazione Italiana, La Lettura [it] and L'Idea Liberale.
