Firstborn of seven brothers and daughter of Colonel Alberto Codazzi, who was a descendant of Agostino Codazzi, geographer and national hero in Venezuela and Colombia. During the Second World War she was partisan, making the messenger for the partisan brigade of Catholic inspiration Brigate Fiamme Verdi hidden in the Reggio Apennines, taking the name of "Rosario"[2] to avoid being captured by the Nazi-Fascists. Graduated in literature and philosophy at the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, a pupil of Giuseppe Dossetti, she first entered the Azione Cattolica and shortly afterwards in the CISL of Giulio Pastore, where she attended the "Long Course" at the CISL Study Center in Florence with Professor Mario Romani.[3] In the CISL she took care of women and workers' rights until she became national secretary of the textile category.[4] In 1976 she was elected senator for the Christian Democrats until 1987.

She worked and had close relations with her colleagues Anna Gabriella Ceccatelli, Tina Anselmi and Nilde Iotti. She died in Rome on 2010.[5]
