Virginia Iommi Echeverría is a Chilean historian and scholar specializing in modern history and the history of science.[1][2][3]
Iommi has also devoted part of her professional research to Classical Antiquity[4] and the Middle Ages.[5] She is a professor at the Pontifical Catholic University of Valparaíso (PUCV).[6]
In addition to researching treatises and aspects of the Renaissance, she has also written articles on the role of technological innovation in human history. She has also recognized historian María Teresa Cobos as an important academic influence.[7]
Biography
Born into a family of academics, Iommi has claimed to have felt a passion for history since childhood.[7] However, she claimed to have discovered her calling for Modern History when she completed her master's degree at the History Institute of her alma mater (PUCV), where she also obtained a degree in History and Political Science.[7]
Her master's thesis was on a treatise on the plague by Marsilio Ficino, which prompted her to delve deeper into these topics in her doctorate at the University of Florence.[7]
