Valeria Vecchia’s family was from Piacenza but she was born on 16 February 1913 in Naples, where her parents were temporarily living because her father Ubaldo, who was an engineer, worked there. In 1926 she moved to Rome with her family and then she permanently resided there. She attended art school and graduated from the Academy of Art in 1935; her engraving teacher at the Academy was Gustavo Rodella. |
