In 1905 she married Vincenzo Cannaviello, who carried out an intense activity as a lecturer and publicist, passionately devoting herself to the study of the history and the protagonists of the Risorgimento in Irpinia. She published meticulous and well-documented studies on the Risorgimento uprisings and on the figures of Irpinian patriots Lorenzo De Concilij, Gregorio Mancini, Michele Morelli, and Giuseppe Silvati.
She was politically active for some years, although in the years between the two world wars her political attitude became more neutral and detached, and her refusal to adhere to the fascist regime forced her into isolation from public activity.
