Ada Boni, née Giaquinto, (1881 – 1973) was an Italian magazine editor, food writer and book author. Her most famous book, Il talismano della felicità (pronounced [il taliˈzmaːno ˈdɛlːa felitʃiˈta]; The Talisman of Happiness in English), published in 1928, is considered one of the classic Italian cookbooks[1][2] and is still very popular.[3] She also wrote the notable book, La cucina romana (Roman Cuisine in English), with the stated aim of saving traditional cuisine that was being lost.
