Maria Xaveria Perucona

Maria Xaveria Perucona or Parruccona (Novara, c. 1652 - after 1709 in Galliate) was a nun and composer in 17th Century Italy. She was of aristocratic birth as many of her fellow nun-composers such as Cozzolani and would have received musical training at home.[1] She entered the Collegio Sant'Orsola in Galliate, a town near her birthplace Novara, at the age of 16.

gollark: I sort of know it, or at least can write reasonably working code in it even if I don't have an intuitive grasp of the weird underlying category theory stuff, but it's really annoying to do the sort of things my code usually involves in it. It's great for stuff like compilers and complex algorithms at least.
gollark: Haskell is very useful if you need to comonadize a zygohistomorphic prepromorphism.
gollark: Something about "explore-exploit tradeoffs".
gollark: I have a book called "Algorithms to Live By" which I think mentions something like that.
gollark: Yes (I can apparently claim it), though weirdly they don't seem to have any actual pictures of it.
