Abstract
We revisit the life and work of Maria Gaetana Agnesi, Milanese mathematician, whose 300th birthday is being celebrated this year. In particular, we describe the main features of her books Propositiones philosophicae and Instituzioni analitiche ad uso della gioventu italiana. A third appendix is devoted to an algebraic curve that has taken its name from Agnesi: the versiera, or witch of Agnesi.
