A Vestal of lyric poetry since childhood, it has been a vocation for me that has guided my entire existence. After completing my bachelor's and master's degrees in classical literature, I decided to dedicate both my theses to figures such as Attila and standard.

My guiding light and guide to my second university career was La Barcaccia, a program broadcast daily on Rai Radio3, with its program "Aria al microscopio." Maestro Enrico Stinchelli has always been the lifeblood of my skills. Just as the sublime Maria Callas was nourished by Maestro Serafin's expertise, I am nourished by Maestro Stinchelli's.
