Education
Born in Milan, I graduated in composition in 2017 with full marks at “Giuseppe Verdi” Conservatory of Milan in the class of M° Paolo Rimoldi. In the following year I attended the courses organized by the conservatory for teaching music and subsequently, between 2019 and 2020, I specialized in composition with M° Fabio Vacchi in his master courses at “Fiesole Music School”. I studied piano at the Civic Music School of Milan with M° Eleonora Zullo. Scientific interests led me also to study and get the master degree in "Plant Biotechnologies" at Milan’s University “Degli Studi”, with full marks and honors.
