===Early Life===
=Early Life=
Violetta was the eldest of three children to a Javanese mother, Anindya, and an Italian father, Caio. Being both the child of immigrants and of mixed heritage in the pillared society of the Netherlands posed its fair share of difficulties, albeit by the standards of the time it was a lot smoother than in most corners of the world. Though she has always considered herself Dutch, she was kept firmly in touch with her heritage during her upbringing, and she speaks fluent Italian and Javanese in addition to Dutch and English. Growing up just a stone's throw away from the legendary TT Circuit Assen, her family always attended the Dutch TT each year, and she made it her lifelong dream to not only race in the TT, but to win it. When she was ten, her parents bought her a minimoto, which she fell off the first time she tried to ride it.

Violetta Purwati Cacciatori (born 25th of February 1956 in Bovensmilde, Netherlands) is a Dutch former motorcycle road racer who made occasional forays into four-wheeled racing.

Early Life

Violetta was the eldest of three children to a Javanese mother, Anindya, and an Italian father, Caio. Being both the child of immigrants and of mixed heritage in the pillared society of the Netherlands posed its fair share of difficulties, albeit by the standards of the time it was a lot smoother than in most corners of the world. Though she has always considered herself Dutch, she was kept firmly in touch with her heritage during her upbringing, and she speaks fluent Italian and Javanese in addition to Dutch and English. Growing up just a stone's throw away from the legendary TT Circuit Assen, her family always attended the Dutch TT each year, and she made it her lifelong dream to not only race in the TT, but to win it. When she was ten, her parents bought her a minimoto, which she fell off the first time she tried to ride it.

Grand Prix Motorcycle Racing Career

Cacciatori made her Grand Prix debut at the 1971 Dutch TT in the 50cc category on a Jamathi, having lied about her age so she could enter despite being only 15 years old.

WSBK Career
