Rosanna and her children fled to [[Venice]] where she and her eldest son, [[Francesco]], used [[Perception filter]]s to appear human. They had come to the Italian city because of their marine nature, and to exploit the fear of the plague. The race set up a "school" under her headship, which gained notoriety in the city as a plague-free haven, and so it was an attractive proposition for fathers to bring their daughters to the school.


Once the girls were in the schools, their blood would be replaced with that of the Saturnyians, and they would be transformed into females of the species, ready to help drown Venice and form a new race with the other male survivors. Fortunately, the [[Eleventh Doctor]] disabled her machinery leaving her plans in tatters. With no hope of rebuilding her species and her perception filter broken, Rosanna was stuck in human form.

Rosanna Calvierri was the alias used by the matriarch of a group of Saturnyns fleeing from a crack in time.

Rosanna and her children fled to Venice where she and her eldest son, Francesco, used perception filters to appear human. Here, Rosanna set up a school for girls in order to transform them into Saturnyns, as none of the other females had survived the trip.

In 1580, Amy Pond and Rory Williams attempted to infiltrate the school with the aid of psychic paper. Having seen through their ruse, Rosanna imprisoned Amy and attempted to convert her. After Isabella helped Amy escape, Rosanna had her devoured by her sons before sending the female converts to eliminate the Doctor and his companions. This ultimately led to her race's end when Guido sacrificed himself to destroy the converts. With nothing left to lose, Rosanna activated the final phase of her plan, creating a storm of boiling rain to sink Venice. However, the Doctor disabled her machinery, leaving her plans in tatters. With no hope of rebuilding her species and her perception filter broken, Rosanna threw herself into the canal, where her children, not recognising her in human form, devoured her. (TV: The Vampires of Venice)
