The art of travel, inspired by music.
I am also a professional viola player. Music shapes how I see the world: attentive listening, emotion and an eye for detail are part of how I share Venice and Padua.
I am developing ideas for future cultural experiences connecting places, art and music. This concept is still in preparation.
