“Creativity is inventing, experimenting, growing, taking risks, breaking rules, making mistakes, and having fun.”

— Mary Lou Cook

My creative reality is multifaceted. I am an artist, yes, but I am also a working woman who founded a cultural association for experimentation and collective expression Pubblica_Lab, pulls a festival forward through sheer willpower, designs fashion, and explores curating; in other words, a woman who shifts gears five times a day just to bring ideas to life. These projects are not completely isolated: they intertwine and naturally feed into one another.

Here, I show those other facets. To me, shooting a camera, drafting a jacket pattern, or putting together an exhibition are all part of the exact same game. I don’t separate the creator who designs from the manager who executes; everything blends together in this personal lab that is life itself. That is why, here, I share parts of my journey outside of art.

Where art unites,

creativity inspires,

and culture transforms.

I founded Pubblica_Lab out of a deep, shared need: to create a sanctuary for artists and an active gathering place for the community in the heart of Abruzzo. To me, this is not just a cultural center; it is a living ecosystem, a platform of resistance and collective expression built from the ground up. It stems from the firm belief that art should not be an elite privilege confined to major institutions, but a human right—a participatory force that heals, challenges, and transforms.

Through Pubblica_Lab, we aim to decentralize culture. We offer free spaces where people are not mere spectators, but creators and protagonists of their own narratives. We are a project in the making, where we hope to create moments of co-working, artist residencies, workshops, exhibitions, and grassroots festivals operating under one clear premise: by the community, for the community.

Dress in peace, fantasy, and strength. One for all, all for one.

In 2021, I brought an idea to life: to create a fashion brand with a deep social purpose. A project where people always come before profit, and where craftsmanship and «making with care» are the foundation of everything. I founded Votes for People as a vote of confidence in humanity, a space of inclusion and respect for each and every one of us.

I firmly believe that a collaborative and circular economy can be a way of doing business for the well-being of the community, celebrating diversity, inclusion, and unfiltered creativity.

We are a project in the making, currently in a design and development phase, designed to offer people a chance for reinvention. Along my journey, I have already run 4 sewing workshops in collaboration with public entities, associations, and social cooperatives —such as the Abruzzo Region, the Cooperativa Sociale On the Road, and the textile company TessProject—, focusing on recycling textile waste. These workshops served as safe spaces for women survivors of violence and vulnerable individuals, proving that mending fabric can also be a way to rebuild a life.

I want a world free of violence, full of smiles and positive ideas. And this is my way of weaving it into reality.

Between 2009 and 2016, I had the opportunity to deeply explore photography and costume design. Those were years of constant experimentation. Here are some archive images from that time.
