Rita Levi-Montalcini, c. 1975. Image courtesy of the Bernard Becker Medical Library, Washington University School of Medicine. She is pictured in formal attire, exuding elegance and intellectual presence. Her expression is calm, confident, and composed, with a gentle, knowing smile. Her hair is neatly styled in soft waves, swept back in a classic mid-20th-century fashion. She wears a single-strand pearl necklace and a dark jacket, adorned with two brooches—one featuring a floral motif and the other a geometric design.

A Lab of Her Own
In her bedroom during WWII, she discovered how the nervous system is wired. On a cold, dry Tuesday in December, 1940, Rita Levi-Montalcini rode a train from the station near her home in Turin, Italy, for 80 miles to Milan to buy a microscope.
