Born in Roma last millennium (!). Classical studies: Latin, Greek,
Philosophy and History. Graduate in Law, later on lawyer... but
the artist inside resented her choice and so she now is a full
time artist! Although her talents range from writing (besides
being the steady winner of many literary contests, one of her
novels has been adapted for and broadcast on the Italian radio
- RAI) to handicraft (jewellery, découpage, interior decorating,
etc.) her favourite interest remains writing.
