Maria Marinaro (29 September 1933 – 12 May 2009) was an Italian theoretical physicist. Her research encompassed Quantum Field Theory, Statistical Mechanics, and the study of neural networks.[1]. She was notable for her work in applying Field Theory techniques to many-body systems, including being among the first to introduce the formalism of Green’s functions to non-relativistic systems, and her contributions to understanding spontaneous symmetry breaking in relation to superfluidity.

Together with Eduardo Caianiello, Marinaro was the founder of the Italian Society for Neural Network (SIREN) and the Proceedings of the 19th Italian Workshop on Neural Nets were dedicated to her [2].

Marinaro is recognised as one of the pioneer women physicist in Italy, who made significant contributions in the field of study of condensed matter physics and was nominated Section Scientist in 2023 by the Italian Physical Society[3]
