Ida Verona was born in Brăila in 1865[citation needed] (according to other sources, in 1861[1] or 1863[2]), the daughter of Dalmatian merchant Francesco Spiridon Verona and Amalia Lucovič or Lucovschi. Brăila contained a colony of Dalmatians who fled the Kotor Bay area. She was educated at a Catholic school, the Notre Dame de Sion, in Brăila.[3] Her brothers were the painters Arthur Verona and Nicolae Henri Verona.[1]
Verona published two books of poetry, Quelques fleurs poétiques and the more celebrated Mimosas. Many of her poems wrestle with the place of women in society. Verona also wrote a number of plays: Domnitz, Fleurs de sang, Aecathe, Jane d’Arc, Abdul Hamid, Creaturès d’amour, and La Tige Dace.[4]
During World War I she worked as a Red Cross nurse.[5] Eventually, she relocated to Prčanj, Montenegro to her grandfather's house and spent the rest of her life there.[6][2]
