In her "Lettere di philosophia naturale" (Krakow, 1584), Camilla Erculiani - who introduces herself as a "speciala" at Padua's "Tre Stelle" pharmacy - states her trust in the intellectual abilities of women and declares that the aim of her work is to "show the world that we are competent in all the sciences, just like men". In the four letters, "Gregetta" resumes the project of a natural philosophy in vernacular first elaborated by Alessandro Piccolomini, whose work she explicitly recalls. According to information provided by the legal scholar Jacopo Menochio (1532-1607), Camilla's book had been suspected of heresy and she had been summoned to appear before the Inquisition.
