Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Learning to express an re-invent myself everyday, "to see a world in a grain of sand and a heaven in a wild flower" (poet Willy would have agreed).
ABOUT ME
I got my first degree in Communication & Journalism in 2005 at the University of Padua, and a specialization in Medial Communication in Milan.
I've worked for a leading Italian independent television production company in Milan and lived my most exciting work experience ever in Honduras, joining the teamwork of the 6th Italian edition of "Survivors".
I've studied violin at the Conservatoire, took part in a Reinassance choir project in Padua (we recorded this: https://itunes.apple.com/it/album/gabrieli-missa-brevis-4-vocum/id686617473)
What I do now: 3 jobs!
1) Receptionist for a four-stars business Hotel
2) Musician and co-founder of this Orchestra based in Ravenna: http://www.lacorelli.it/
3) Free-lance Press Officer in the field of music/cultural events
I love writing, I love Art, I constantly feel the need to travel, make new experiences and be creative, or I feel quite bored. At the same time I'm desperately trying to understand where I belong.
PHILOSOPHY
"You can be anything you want to be / just turn yourself into anything you think that you could ever be / be free with your tempo / be free be free / surrender your ego / be free be free / to yourseeeeeeelf!!!"
