Maria Villavecchia Bellonci was an Italian writer and translator especially known for her biography of Lucrezia Borgia. She and Guido Alberti set up the Premio Strega in 1947.

Maria Bellonci nasce a Roma nel 1902. Suo padre, Girolamo Vittorio Villavecchia, insegna chimica all’università ed è autore di un celebre trattato di merceologia. Da lui Maria dirà di aver appreso il rigore della ricerca scientifica. Frequenta l’Istituto del Sacro Cuore a Trinità dei Monti e il liceo Umberto I. Di questi anni, già intellettualmente vivaci, ricorderà «il senso di vita traboccante […] per il quale mi pareva d’essere chiusa in una mandorla d’immortalità».
