Gina Lombroso

Gina Elena Zefora Lombroso (5 October 1872 in Pavia – 27 March 1944 in Geneva) 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.

[1] She was the wife of Italian historian and writer Guglielmo Ferrero (1871–1942)[2][3][4][5][6] 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.
