Graduated in Political Science, international address at Cesare Alfieri University in Florence, with a diploma as a conference interpreter for English and French and a Master in International Commerce and Finance organized by the Italian Trade Agency (ITA) of Milan, I started my career at the ITA 32 years ago in 1992.

Returning to Italy, following the victory of the competition for executives in August 2000, I was appointed director of the ITA Office in Florence and since 2002 manager of the Consumer Goods Area and of the Special Projects Area of the Rome office. In 2004 I was appointed director of ITA Sofia in Bulgaria and subsequently from 2007 to 2013 I was director of the ITA office in Sao Paulo, responsible for Brazil, in the period of the full economic boom of the South American country. Back in the Head Office from 2013 to 2017 I was director of the Promotion Coordination of Made in Italy, responsible for the planning and organization of over 1000 promotional initiatives annually organized by ITA in over 65 offices around the world.
