This is Rita Levi Montalcini.
In April, she turned 100.
Isn’t she lovely?
She is a Nobel Prize-winning neurologist and a senator for life in Italy.
For Turin-born Montalcini , anti-Jewish laws of Benito Mussolini's Fascist regime in the 1930s forced her to quit university and do research in an improvised laboratory -- her bedroom at home.
"Above all, don't fear difficult moments," she said. "The best comes from them."
So true, so true.
