Her mother, Maria Pia Luzzatto, was born and raised in Vienna from a Jewish family, and contributed transmitting to her daughters her passion for languages (she was fluent in Italian, French, German and English),[1] art and literature.

A few years later during a dance at the hotel Excelsior in Rome, she met Gaspero del Corso, a young officer with whom she discovered to share an intense passion for Proust, art and travelling.

Following the armistice, Gaspero del Corso was considered a deserter and he then hid in the house, along with forty other officers and disbanded soldiers, to avoid the Nazi troops roundups.

Parallel to established artists like Giorgio de Chirico, Salvador Dalí, Pablo Picasso, Bruno Caruso and Giacomo Balla, Brin and del Corso also exhibited emerging talents like Alberto Burri, Zoran Mušič and Lucio Fontana.

[8] In 1946, parallel to her activities at Gallery L'Obelisco, Brin began collaborating with La Settimana Incom an illustrated newsreel edited by of Luigi Barzini Jr.

Her surveys, initially aimed at dispensing advice to readers about style, social behaviour and fashion trends, resulted in short pieces laced with irony and literary quotations.

A few of her contributions were signed with the pseudonym Contessa Clara Ràdjanny von Skèwitch, a fictional old aristocratic lady exiled from an unspecified country behind the Iron Curtain who would often recount her meetings with Royals and famous writers.

In 1951 Brin worked actively to the success of the first Italian fashion show organized by the Marquis Giovanni Battista Giorgini at his private residence in Villa Torrigiani in Via de 'Serragli in Florence.
