Drei was born in Rome, the daughter of a sculptor and painter. She studied
in Rome and at Columbia University in New York, where she lived for
five years. In 1958 she married the painter Franscesco Guerreri.
She was a co-founder of Gruppo 63, and a proponent of structural movement.
She often used optical-kinetic techniques, along with a supporting color
structure. From 1982 until 1986 she participated in Metapittura. The
works include colorful cut-out books with titles such as “Kaleidoscope”
and “The Painted Diamond”.
She has been in international shows, including the Sao Palo Biennale
