A bit more about me

Multilingual in English, Swedish and Italian, my mother tongue, I bring a diverse array of artistic passions and talents to the table.

I'm an avid computer game enthusiast and a soprano singer who also plays the violin, piano, and electric bass.
My musical journey spans over a decade, including formal studies at Music Academy G. Tartini in Trieste.
Beyond music, my appreciation for the visual arts runs deep, especially since exploring oil painting under the guidance of the surrealist master, Patrizia D'Amico.

My artistic endeavours are complemented by a love for adventure. I enjoy traveling and the thrill of riding my motorcycles.
And, of course, I love cats.
