My elementary school teacher used to say that I had my head in the clouds. In high school, my English teacher used to scold me because I asked too many questions. My mother said that I was stubborn. In other words, imaginative, curious and strong-willed: three qualities that still accompany me today.
Since I was little, I have loved drawing and inventing stories, in my head and on paper.
As a child, my dream was to be able to do it every day, forever. After attending a linguistic high school, I followed the call of intuition and attended the Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti in Milan where I discovered graphics and illustration, creative writing and screenwriting. Thus, images and words became the common thread of my life, accompanying me during my years in Australia and in the Netherlands, where I worked as a copywriter, graphic designer and brand designer. By day. Because by night I filled notebooks with texts, poems, subjects and stories, intended only for my eyes as a reader. Until I found the courage to share them: first with a literary agent, then another, then an author friend.
And each of them told me the same thing: your stories deserve the light of day.
So here I am, a newbie author with some of my stories that have seen the light of day.
