[1] She grew up in an aristocratic family that ensured her education in singing, playing instruments and general music.
She studied with her uncle, Francesco Beria, and teacher, Antonio Grosso, before she took her vows at age 16 as an Ursuline nun in the Collegio di Sant’Orsola in Galliate, near her hometown of Novara.
[2] In 1675, her only work, Sacri concerti de motetti a una, due, tre, e quattro voce, was published in Milan and dedicated to Anna Cattarina della Cerda who had previously made monetary gifts to Sant’Orsola.
Sacri concerti consists of 18 motets for a variety of voices, only one incorporating a liturgical text, titled Regina coeli.
[2] Little is known of Peruchona’s life after 1690 and it is believed that she did not publish beyond Sacri concerti because her religious duties took precedence over her composing.
