village Painting

I was born in a small village in central Italy, Montefiore dell'Aso in August 1959: Montefiore preserves one of the most beautiful Maddalena of Carlo Crivelli (1430 Venice - 1495 Ascoli Piceno), is the burial village of Domenico Cantatore (Ruvo di Puglia 1906 - Paris 1989). I grew up in two other small towns on the sea: Cupramarittima and Grottammare, ancient lands of the Piceni and after Romane. The pope Sixtus V and the sculptor Pericle Fazzini was born in Grottammare. I am the daughter of a painter who in the 80s and 90s allowed me to know the great vitality of the art in Rome, from painting to literature. My mother's critic was the journalist and poet Luciano Luisi. I don't write his name because she, an old woman, doesn't like it. In my life I have traveled a lot for work (I was a journalist for 20 years) and for personal reasons. I have always cultivated my love for art, both in Italian and European sacred painting, and in that of other continents. I studied the magic of color from France to Tibet, from Germany to Canada, to Spain, to Greece, to New York. I dealt with human rights, working as a journalist for a native people of northern Quebec, the Cree, in the 90s: very important experience for my painting and my geometric synthesis. I'm passionate about steam locomotives, I've been writing railways for years, I've photographed steam locomotives all over the world, I've been able to travel in steam locomotive cabins: a unique emotion, the boiler is a heart and the locomotive is alive, the metal is alive. It is an emotion difficult to explain in words. I love reading, I write poetry: I published my first collection in the summer. I love music, Jazz and classical.
