Developed a big passion for being phiscally elsewhere, I am walking, bringing back the origin of my attraction throw nomadism. I feel the need of being on move but at the same time of contemplating what surrounds me.

I am studying visual art and mosaic at the Fine Arts Academy in Ravenna (Italy).
Ravenna is one of the oldest capital of Italy, and it still conserve byzantine mosaic.
This is an amazing form of art where you composing images by putting small pieces side by side. You can easily do with any material (expecially with recyclable material) and on lots of different type of surfaces.

I am just start this amazing journey but I really want to share my small knowledge on the artistic field; but above all, learn something from all the countries will host me (in particular from an artistic and historical point of view)

I am the president of a cultural association called "Centro per la Pace". A meeting place, where we organise educational projects, workshop, discussion, cultural event to spread values of interactions. We work expecially with young people from 13 to 30 years old, organising different type of activity (I put few of them that I hope can be interesting to read :) )

-anti raccism
-collaboration with refugee shelters
-memowalk ( a walk on the historical places of our hometown)
-projects on international cooperation (thanks to this I have been for one month in Burkina Faso in Africa expecially to make documentation on the plastic problem on the environment) and in Albania for a project against gender violence
-cultural events with theater's shows
-train's memory - a project on the genocide of II World War with a trip to Krakow- and Auschwitz Birkenau's lager
-Dosta- project on the Bosnian war and (still barely admitted) Srebeniza's genocide

I am member of an association called "Cartabianca". We are a group, who promotes art and cultural activity for children thanks to our love for art, childhood, ecology, illustration and literature.
We organise reading( also with puppets) and art activity for example with recycling materials, clay, wood, tempera, fabrics.
