Italian harpist based in London. Before moving to the UK I've studied at the Conservatorio of Santa Cecilia in Rome, my hometown, and now I'm currently studying as a scholar at the Royal College of music in London under the guidance of Professor Ieuan Jones.

I've performed in various locations around London such as the National History Museum, The Wallace Collection, Pembroke Lodge in Richmond Park and the Jumeirah Hotel; some of my most relevant performances in Rome are at the Vatican Gardens, Capitoline Museums and Museum of Villa Torlonia.
I've been involved in several projects with the RCM as Orchestra for the Conducting Auditions, Wind Orchestra conducted by David Gordon-Schute, and Symphony Orchestra conducted by Martin Brabbins. I have also collaborated with the Agape Gospel Choir for several recording sessions and music videos.

My passion for the harp began at the age of 6, taking lessons at the CESMI music school in Rome with the SUZUKI method. Throughout the years I've also attended several masterclasses with some of the most prestigious harp names such as Ieuan Jones, Emanuela Degli Esposti, Olga Mazzia, and Marcella Carboni.
Together with my college studies I also play for weddings, drinks receptions, corporate events and more.

My teaching is student-centred and adapted to each individual’s age, level, and goals. I focus on building solid technical foundations, developing musicality, and encouraging confidence and enjoyment of the instrument. Lessons are structured but flexible, combining technical work, repertoire, and musical expression, while creating a supportive and motivating learning environment.
