Biography
At eleven she leaves on secret diary the first proof of a passion still burns her soul in form of two poems: "To the dawn" and "The spring" are immature efforts to emulate poems learnt at school.
The adolescence ripens as grape in the september sun: other verses come up, in english, on spread papers and locked. But grapes desires to be tasted and bitten and enjoyed... the padlock is unhinged, poems rise to light and other eyes brush them and other voices shake them. It's the time of contests and public readings.
She wins the first poetry Prize to "Calentano contest" 1995, with unedit silloge "One summer", then the Prize "Quasimodo", to the Euro contest "Città di Corato", 1996. the prize "Lopez", 1997.
Many antologies and reviews, in Italy and abroad, give hospitality to her works: "Delos, isola di Apollo", Italy, "Carta International de Poesia", Argentina, "Millenium Peace 2001", India, "Kafla Inter Continental", India.
