Eva Giuliana Mameli Calvino (February 12, 1886 Sassari - March 31, 1978 San Remo), first Italian woman to teach botany in university (1915), married Mario Calvino (ca. 1920). From 1925 Mario and Eva Calvino led the San Remo Experimental Station. Following the death of Mario Calvino, she was the director of the Station (1951-59). Her son Italo Calvino (1923-1985), became a renowned author.

[From The Rose Annual, 1981, p. 113]: ...Ever since its foundation in 1925, the Italian Horticultural Experimental Institute (formerly Stazione Sperimentale di Floricultura) was interested in raising new varieties. Prof. Mario Calvino and his wife Eva Mameli, obtained encouraging results with roses such as 'Clotaria' , 'Gloria di Sanremo', 'Imperia', 'Lawrence Johnston', 'Canzonetta' as well as others.
