I am currently studying art history at the University of Florence and dream of becoming an artist. In my free time, I enjoy walking through the narrow streets of my town, savoring the aromas of Italian cuisine, and meeting with friends. It is important for me to express my feelings through creativity and to find beauty in every day.
