Maria Luisa Ambrosini

Maria Luisa Ambrosini is a non-fiction author.

She and Mary Willis wrote The Secret Archives of the Vatican, published in January 1969 by Little, Brown and Company.[1] Writing in The New York Times, Christian scholar Jaroslav Pelikan wrote, "It is probably the dream of every historian that someday he will discover a cache of hitherto unknown manuscripts that will change our understanding of the past. ... If there are to be further discoveries of this sort, it does not take a dowsing rod to identify the Secret Archives of the Vatican as one of the best places to dig."[1] Kirkus Reviews was less favorable, stating "there is nothing new, and little unexpected, in the collection of historical curiosa which make up this book."[2]

Her work has appeared in Harper's Magazine.[3] She is secretary at Bocconi University.[4]
