      • Ida Verona (1865 – August 29, 1925) was a French- and Romanian-language poet, playwright, and painter originating from the Bay of Kotor in today's Montenegro.
      Ida Verona was born in Brăila in 1865 (according to other sources, in 1861 or 1863), 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. Her brothers were the painters Arthur Verona and Nicolae Henri Verona.
      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.
      During World War I she worked as a Red Cross nurse. Eventually, she relocated to Prčanj, Montenegro to her grandfather's house and spent the rest of her life there.
