about me

Born and raised in Bologna, I was always an avid cultural consumer and a curious wanderer, passionate about literature, music and travel.
After my degree in Cultural Sciences (curriculum in Philosophy) I was eager to acquire the tools and experience to make a career in the world of culture. In 2015 I enrolled in GIOCA, a two-year graduate programme in management of arts and culture.
In the last two years I’ve made my curricular internship for a renowned music festival, graduated and made my first professional experience for a prestigious live music organization.

Interests and free time

Music. I am truly passionate about the energy and the discovery of live music. I love being up to date with the latest innovations of the music industry and with the current trends of music research.

Performing arts. Fascinated by the stage, I always look for opportunities to experience the latest theatrical productions, whether it is opera, prose or dance. In 2013 I did my curricular internship for VIE Festival, a contemporary theatre festival by Emilia Romagna Teatro Fondazione.

Cinema. I volunteered for Bologna’s Cinema Ritrovato Festival in 2015 (promotion), 2016 and 2020 (hospitality).

Street art & comics. I co-funded the cultural association Joint Arts, that presented in Novembre 2016 the photographic exhibition La storia sui muri – The history on the walls. Held at Bologna’s Urban Center (Biblioteca Sala Borsa), the exhibition covered the contemporary political history of the city through the perspective of street art. In 2017 and 2019 I volunteered for Bologna’s comics festival BilBOlBul (press office).
