Early Life

Fiammetta was born in Lowestoft, UK. Her father was very interested in science and worked as a doctor. He helped Fiammetta develop an interest in science and nature. 

She was taught at home by a governess and went to schools in Germany and Switzerland. This was common in wealthy families in the UK at the time.
