Originally from a Piedmontese family with deep ties to both the UNESCO-listed Monferrato and the Langhe, home to writers like Cesare Pavese, Beppe Fenoglio, and Nuto Revelli, as well as the valleys filled with towering trees, sanctuaries, and mountaineers overlooking the Biellese area, I am now based in Turin, living beneath the iconic Mole Antonelliana.

A proud mother of three, I have a passion for traveling, and gardening. I embody the pragmatism and hardworking spirit of my homeland, and see myself as a constructive, determined person, shaped by my past as a competitive show jumper and skier.
