Camilla Soardi
Camilla Soardi (active ca. 1540), a gentlewoman of Casale Monferrato in north-west Italy, was a Renaissance poet, identified as a notable female literary figure by her appearance in both the "Teatro delle Donne letterate" of Della-Chiesa and Marcello Alberti's "Storia delle Donne scienziate". Gioseffantonio Morano describes her as a virtuoso with a most subtle genius. See also. Margarita Balliana and Margarita Bobba, also women poets of sixteenth-century Casale.
