Was born in Padua . In a district where still semi rural, a place where, inventing, gossiping, were part of the daily reality.... . the energetic chioggiotta grandmother and grandfather Sicilian are her first story tellers. Soon the coloured shades of her childhood, the will to tell, already at the age of six years, entertained her cousins for long hours with fantastic stories. The supervisory role in Cologne provided a first major public appearance, but will be the summer nights between the vines and hunting of fireflies to reveal the mysteries of muse and done.

At the age of 18, moved and lived in South America , for over 10 years, discovering places and meeting interesting people that were fundamental to her research in story telling. Worked in contact with popular South Americans storytellers learning the art of story telling and the oral scenic narration on stage. Met families of Italian emigrants and rediscovered many ancient legends.

Returning to Italy has top her theatrical training: depth studies at the Burlesk Center of Cavigliano (CH) on clown with directors such as: P. Byland and Mareike Schnitker about the Comedy dell'Arte with: Antonio. Fava, Eugenio happy, Nora fuser, A. jurissevich distinguishing herself as: Captain.

The return to Italy from South America is again before the need to tell... not more roads which smell of fruit, not more that cucarachas (cockroaches) flee run away from the step rights of men, and children who come to listen to a story, nor apprentices acrobats, there are more, charlatans, fire eaters and sellers have come from any where, or women who sell magic potions to make the hex, where are the colorful birds?. And the players of serenatas (serenades) that enchant the girls.

The squares and streets are semi-deserted; this is an opportunity to merge the different experiences, human, and theatrical, inventing one open narration without distinction of genres. A ''narration feast''. (But choosing a great poetry and truthfulness.).
