Biography[edit]
Peretti was born in Paris. Her mother was the French model Antoinette Louise Clotilde Ruffier and her father was João de Medeiros Peretti, a Brazilian historian. In France, Peretti studied at the École nationale supérieure des arts décoratifs and Académie de la Grande Chaumière. Still in France, she illustrated various books and magazines and made her first exposition.[1][2]

In Rio de Janeiro, Peretti made the mural of the Museum of Samba at Sambadrome Marquês de Sapucaí. The stained glass at the Cabanagem Memorial, in Belém, is also her work.
