Italian women were among the very first to contribute to Second Temple Studies as writers and artists. Already in 1475 Lucrezia Tornabuoni published a collection of poems dealing with major characters in the Bible, including Judith, Tobias, Esther, Susanna, and John the Baptist. Fede Galizia in the 16th century, and Artemisia Gentileschi in the 17th century broke the male monopoly in the arts and emerged as renowned painters, focusing on female biblical characters like Judith, Susanna, Elizabeth and Mary of Nazareth.

At the turn of the 18th century, Angiola Teresa Muratori-Scannabecchi and Maria Margherita Grimani composed oratorios on Old and New Testament subjects. In 1733 Francesca Manzoni Giusti, member of the Academies of the Trasformatis and the Arcadis, wrote a drama on Esther.

A long period of silence followed these pioneering works. Italian women reentered the field only after World War II, this time as scholars. In the 1950s and 1960s archaeologist Margherita Guarducci led the excavations of the Tomb of Peter in the Vatican. In 1967 Clara Kraus Reggiani began her publishing work on the Hellenistic-Jewish tradition and Philo of Alexandria. In the 1980s Liliana Rosso-Ubigli from the University of Turin gave her contribution to the study of the OT Pseudepigrapha.

In the 1980s and 1990s theologians Vilma Gozzini and Carla Ricci and novelist Rosa Artale first entered the field of New Testament Studies. In 1995 anthropologist Adriana Destro teamed Mauro Pesce in the first of a long series of publications on the sociology of the early Jesus movement. Francesca Calabi emerged as a leading authority in Hellenistic-Jewish Studies.

In the 2010s Mara Rescio contributed to the field of Historical Jesus Studies.
