The rain leaved the space to the sun and at 6 am I wake up. The allarm of my daily life in Rome rings, my body wakes up and after buying a Tyropita and filled the bottle of water the trip toward Thessaloniki starts.

I'm thinking at the dialogue with Katherina and Pericles last night at the Dionisi place on the Platia of Libadi. Pericles is computer programmer and he lost since three years his job. Katernina works in a nursery school as teacher in Katerini. Their decision since little is to stay at Libadi. They work now both at the the family's tavern. 

In this Region the people speaks greek and blaki that has some latin proforà of words and the same meaning, a memory of the Roman Empire.

Father greek and mother swiss she lived always in a international ambience traveling through Europe and South America.

Graduated in Literature and Philosophy High School she became Anthropologist and researcher.

In recent years she focused her interest in the relationship between man and environment. She held various ethnographic research in the field on issues ranging from the relationship between culture and environment and gender difference, migration and life histories (Jordan / Greece / Italy / Sudan / Cambodia / India / China). For several years she has deepened her interest on water, studying the impact of climate change and local policies on the use of water resources.

Valuing water culturally and through art, realizing workshops with children and students, means for her creating awareness and sensitivity, with the goal to protect this fundamental element that gives life.

She wants to develop a new way of dialogue and integration through art building consciousness of the beauty of difference and of human beings worldwide.
