Everything started with a stone, when I was 9 years old.
I was visiting France with my parents and we stopped in Carnac: three huge lines of megalithic monuments from the Bronze Age. While dad was explaining me the difference between dolmen and menhir and mum was reading a magazine, I’ve decided: I would be an archaeologist.
But the life, you know, often reserves surprises and new opportunities ...
While at school I was studying Latin and ancient Greek, I spent the summers in United Kingdom in order to improve my English and be a hostess: my dream has always been to travel around the world.
Then, when I was 18, I travelled for the first time alone and visited Paris. Admiring the Musée d’Orsay’s masterpieces and Rodin’s sculptures, I had the idea of studying modern and contemporary art at the University.
A love that has lasted over time, even if shared with other experiences.
Indeed I spent many summers working in resorts’ entertainment staff; I went to Milan for a scholarship for the Master in IT and Communication and later cooperated as journalist in the webzine of a well-known Italian travel magazine; with Riadh I managed restaurants and resorts in Sardinia and southern Italy; experience in tourism has been the springboard to teach at schools and post-diploma courses.
And at least … the aperitif in Marostica!
Moving to the region which preserves the masterpieces of Palladio, Veronese, Tiepolo and Canova I started studying again to get the license for tourist guide.
And here I found the right place to mix my passion for art with the hospitality vocation.
What else?
Indispensibile: a good book before sleeping, camera and comfortable shoes when travelling, Taiso and Tai-Chi training.
Unbearable: the major part of TV programs, false and opportunist people.
Unrepeatable: Samir’s first cry in delivery room, sleeping inside a fairy chimney in Kappadochia, the study holidays in England.
