In the past she was councilor for culture and museums of the Province of Padua, and also president of the Italian Federation of Psychologists and of the International Health Observatory. «A loss not only for the scientific community - commented the mayor of Padua, Sergio Giordani - but also for the city, where she, originally from Portogruaro, had chosen to live after graduating from our University».
