Ines Castellani Fantoni Benaglio, also known by the pseudonym of Memini (c. 1849, in Pavia – 6 May 1897, in Azzate), was an Italian writer and a member of a noble Piedmontese family.

Her mother, Elena Dattili di Borgo Priolo, was known in literary circles, allowing her to expose Ines to literate compatriots.

Despite a lack of formal learning opportunities, Ines exhibited a broad knowledge of languages making her an ideal candidate for doing translations.

She made her debut as a writer in 1880, with Estella and Nemorino, after which she wrote novels and short stories.

[1][2] Benaglio also wrote for magazines, including Perseveranza, La Gazzetta Provinciale and Vita Intimate.
