# Biography
Maria Lai was born on September 27, 1919 in Ulassai. At the age of three, her parents decided to leave her to their uncles because of her poor health, and Maria remained with them until the age of nine. After a short return to Ulassai, she moved to Cagliari where she studied at the College with her sister Giuliana.
In 1932 she enrolled in the Magistral Institute, where she was taught by Salvatore Cambosu, with whom she established a deep and lasting friendship. In 1939 she decided to settle in Rome to study at the Liceo Artistico, where she followed the lessons of Marino Mazzacurati.
In 1943, because of the war she decided to leave Rome, and moved to Venice to attend the Academy of Fine Arts with Arturo Martini.

For about ten years there will be a phase of silence, she continues to live in Rome but refuses to expose despite the constant stimuli of Marcello Venturoli, a great admirer of his work.
In 1971 she exhibited and Rome at the Schneider Gallery curated by Venturoli several frames.
