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.
I subsequently graduated with a master's degree in musicology under the guidance of Professor Fabrizio Della Seta. 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.
For me, opera is both refuge and life. I hope to devote my life to this immense heritage as a professional.

Since I was very young, my life has been divided between two great passions: opera and the sea.
At the age of nine I began studying piano and then continued with the flute and opera singing as soon as my voice allowed.
I then finished my musical studies to devote myself completely to my second (but not least) passion.
Today I am a Deck Officer in the Merchant Navy and when I'm not sailing around the world, I make sure to frequent opera houses as often as possible and cultivate my love for music.
