her passion for dance and photography by publishing an essay

Ottolenghi.
As of today her prose works and poetry have been
published in newspapers and magazines, anthologies, in CDs and volumes. Among the latest are: Volto

She has interpreted through poetry, internationally
renowned musical works as those for the harpists, Floraleda
Sacchi, on the occasion of the release of the Decca Minimal
Harp CD, in 2008, and Vincenzo Zitello to whom, during his tour of concerts, she dedicated
a compilation which was presented to the public in 2009 in the presence of the

Her works have also been promoted through
intra-disciplinary round tables, meetings, recital-conferences and shows, at
