Born in
Grosseto in 1788, a
nun, she was an author of
sentimental novels in the early decades of the 19th century. Cozzi adopted a popular style, far from the rigid conventions of Italian literary tradition and mainly influenced by trends from abroad, such as the
epistolary form. Her novels favored happy endings, plot twists, and misunderstandings, while also making attempts to explore the psychology of the characters, as seen in
Melinda, ''L'orfana infelice
, and Lo specchio morale''. In 1818, Cozzi published the historical-allegorical novel
Le avventure di Adullio di Roselle. ==Works==
