Fulvia Miani Perotti (1844 - 1931) was an Italian writer who lived in the Apulia region of Italy.
She was the daughter of Nicola Perotti, a lawyer and member of the Parliament, and a Greek marchioness. As a liberal-spirited woman, she wrote for a number of magazines and newspapers under the pen name Voluntas, meaning "willingness".
Throughout her life, she devoted herself to charitable endeavours, including the establishment of the first professional school for girls in southern Italy, created for the daughters of sailors in Bari. She was President of Catholic Associations, of the Daughters of Charity of Saint Vincent de Paul, as well as director of the Italian Red Cross, and during the 1915-1918 war she was President of the Civil Assistance Committee that worked to provide assistance to soldiers and their families. [1]
In 1871, she became a friend of Giuseppe Mazzini and went to visit him in the fortress of Gaeta, where he was being held as a political prisoner. Fourteen letters document the continued interaction between Mazzini and Fulvia Miani Perotti, who had become his friend and benefactor. When Mazzini went into exile, Fulvia and her husband Gaetano Perotti (a Piedmontese officer in the army of the Kingdom of Italy) remained faithful to Mazzini by refusing to give information to governmental agents, which resulted in the end of Perotti's army career.
Fulvia's son, Armando Perotti, was perhaps Apulia's greatest poet. The municipal library of Cassano delle Murge is named after him. An old town square in Polignano a Mare, where the family's nobiliary house (and Fulvia's birthplace) stands, was renamed after her. [2]

The Arianese dialect, typical of the territorial area of Ariano Irpino, is a vernacular variety of the Irpinian dialect, belonging in turn to the Neapolitan group of southern Italian dialects. Like all Romance languages, it descends directly from Vulgar Latin, a language of Indo-European stock that has been widespread in the area since Roman times.
The culture of Apulia, the region that constitutes the extreme southeast of the Italian peninsula, has had, since ancient times, mixed influences from the West and the East, due to its strategic position near the transition zone between these two cultural regions. Its location, on the west coast of the Adriatic and Ionian seas, the natural southern border between Western Europe and the Balkans and Greece, made it a bridge to the East since antiquity, and in the Middle Ages, it was a cultural frontier between the Roman-Germanic West and the Greek-Byzantine East.
