I'm an independent Curator, Programmer and Producer with fifteen years of experience in international projects. After the Master in Arts Management from the University of Bologna and Greenwich University, I started my career in London in the field of visual arts, but I very soon discovered my love and passion for performing arts devoting then my professional path to new media, performing arts (music, dance, theatre) and interdisciplinary art practices. Over the years, I curated projects for cultural institutions including theatre venues, international festivals, museums and planning agencies (among others Quartier21 (Austria), Kunst-Stoffe (Germany), Latvian Centre for Contemporary Art (Latvia), Helsinki City Art Museum (Finland), Italian Embassy in Singapore (Singapore), Fondazione Sistema Toscana (Florence, Italy), Florence Dance Festival (Florence, Italy), the Euro-Mediterranean Festival (Syracuse, Italy), Uffizi Gallery (Florence, Italy), Ravello Festival (Ravello, Italy), Daniele Cipriani Entertainment (Rome, Italy), Teatro Cantiere Florida (Florence, Italy), Rome Opera Theatre (Rome, Italy), Florence Opera Theatre (Florence, Italy), Madre Museum (Naples, Italy).

In 2016 I was appointed Head of Programming for Theatre and Dance at Centro per l'Arte Contemporanea Luigi Pecci in Prato (one of the most important contemporary art museums in central Italy). Moreover, from 2017 onward I developed the multimedia project L'Ultima dei Medici promoted by UNESCO. After spending nearly a decade working in Italy I moved to Singapore in 2018 and started a new chapter of my career devoted to international projects and collaborations between Europe and Asia. Since then I worked in conjunction with local institutions such as the Singapore Design Week, T.H.E. Dance Company, M1 CONTACT Festival, the Embassy of Italy in Singapore and the Asia-Europe Foundation (ASEF). From 2019 I have been invited as Guest Programmer at CROSS Festival (Verbania, Italy) to curate the Asian section of the festival and to coordinate projects and collaborations with Asian artists and entities. In 2020, despite the worldwide pandemic, I have been working as producer of CRISOL-East Asia Path, a participatory workshop that gathers together performing artists from Italy, Singapore, Macao, Hong Kong, China and India.

I am also a guest lecturer at Lasalle College of the Arts (Singapore) and University of Bologna (Italy). Over the years I collaborated with countless international artists from all art sectors, among others:
