2007: I participated at Inhorgenta, exhibiting my jewellery collection at the stand of Le Arti Orafe.
I attended an engraving course at Le Arti Orafe from September until July.
I participated at "Aura" last October, a contemporary jewellery exhibition at Burton Agnes Hall in Yorkshire.
Last September I worked at "Lucca Preziosa 2006" - an international Jewellery exhibition in Lucca.
I worked as a jewellery designer in a tajua shop in Florence for the next spring-summer collection.

2004-2006: I attended a two year course at Le Arti Orafe Jewellery School in Florence,
where I was awarded a recognized diploma as a goldsmith.
I studied theoretical subjects like Technology, Gemmology and
the History of Jewels,
and practical ones like Jewellery Making and Design.
I designed and made my own jewels, having the possibility to work with these two subjects in parallel.
I also practice with soft and hard wax, and enamelling.
I attended a metal-forging workshop with Giovanni Corvaja in my second Year.

2003: I improved my creative qualities (collage, clay modelling, assemblage and composition with poor materials ) to understand better and to improve, through the practical and artistic work, the development of children's fantasy.
In the meantime, I started creating my first jewellery collections, using new and recycled materials.
This experience allowed me to experiment with various materials.and to start my own research.

2002. I attended a course for "Children's book illustration" in the school CityLit in London,
trying to extend my possibilities to communicate with children.

1999-2001: I achieved a certificate in Foundation Studies in Childcare and Créche Work
at the School of Practical Childcare, in Dublin.
In Dublin I also worked as a Montessori Assistant and I decided then to become a Montessori Teacher( age group 3-6 yrs ) attending the International Montessori Association school in London.

1996. I attended a course in Business English and International Affaires at the Consorzio Pratese Artigianato Servizi.
The same year I moved to Ireland to improve my English.

1990-1995: I attended a public language school "Niccolò Copernico" where I received the final diploma.
I studied both grammar and literature of English, German and French.
