I attended a degree course in Philosophy in 2005/2006 at the University of Milan, among others I followed classes of aestetichs, rhetorics and philosophy of language.
I love nature and animals, and I enjoy reading books of every kind. The universe of science and logic fascinates me, even though I don’t have aspecific scholastic knowledge I am in a constant interest and curiosity about these subjects. |
Future plans

I want to experiment different techniques and roles, not only in the field of entertainment but also for educational purposes to keep on growing both professionally and individually. |
