Life

Gozzadini was born in the commune of Bologna in northern Italy in 1209; her parents, Amadore Gozzadini and Adelasia de' Pegolotti, were of the nobility. Gozzadini studied philosophy, and then studied law under Giacomo Baldavino and Tancred of Bologna at the Studium of Bologna, where she also received encouragement from Odofredo.Шаблон:R As a young woman, she dressed as a man; it is not known whether this was because of social pressures or was from personal choice.Шаблон:R

She graduated from the university in 1237,Шаблон:R and for two years taught law at her home. She was offered chair at the Studium, which she at first declined but later accepted.Шаблон:R According to legend, she had to wear a veil when teaching, to avoid distraction to her students; however, the same legend is also attached to Novella d'Andrea, and it is not known which – if either – it belongs to.Шаблон:R

Gozzadini was a noted orator, and on 31 May 1242 she gave the oration at the funeral of the Bishop of Bologna, Enrico della Fratta.Шаблон:R

Gozzadini died with two other women and four students on 2 November 1261, when flooding of the Idice caused the collapse of the house where they had taken refuge after fleeing from her villa on the river between Шаблон:Interlanguage link multi and Riccardina, now in the comune of Budrio to the east of Bologna.Шаблон:R There was general mourning in the city and the schools were closed.

Reception

Gozzadini is thought to be the first woman to have taught at a university.Шаблон:R Her later fame as a lawyer might have been prompted by an historical defense of the female doctorate written by Alessandro Macchiavelli in the 18th century. Macchiavelli was known to fill in the gaps of his knowledge by fabricating stories about his subjects.

A terracotta bust of her, one of a series of twelve representations of notable Bolognese women by the un-named "Scultore di Casa Fibbia", dates from the late seventeenth century.Шаблон:R It was originally in the Salone d'Onore of Palazzo Fibbia Fabbri – now Palazzo Masetti Calzolari – and is now in the Museo della Storia di Bologna in Palazzo Pepoli. Gozzadini is the earliest of the twelve women depicted.Шаблон:R

Her writings, on the Digest and on the lex omnes populi, are believed lost.Шаблон:R
