Born and grown up in Mantua,Italy, took a school-leaving certificate in Antique Decorative Arts at the Art Institute in Mantova and in 1997 I graduated in Mantova on Conservation and maintenance of works of art, paintings on canvas, frescos, panel paintings and sculptures in polychrome wood.
Currently, I am a freelancer and I take care of decoration and restoration.
I follows at the same time her love for Decoration realizing classic and modern decorations, art fakes and personal projects and decorations for private persons, shops, public places and residential estates.
As a child my father used to take me each year on 14th of August to see an international competition of pavement paintings in front of the Santuario delle Grazie di Curtatone (Mantova) in which every artist has to propose a religious representation made with chalk colours.
I was so fascinated to want to try and become my self an artist of this ephemeral and ancient painting technique.
I’m a co-founder of Centro Culturale Artisti Madonnari (Madonnari artists cultural centre).
I took part in various exhibitions and she performed in several Street Art events all over the world winning awards in Italy becoming Maestra Madonnara, Switzerland, Netherlands, France, Germany,Denmark, Florida, California, Texas, Russia and Mexico.
