My interest for the Conflict Resolution Theory and Practice started during my semester in Mexico (January-June 2005). There I had the opportunity to participate at a seminar held by Prof. Gideon Shimshon and at the final role-play concerning the conflict in Middle East. Back to Italy I deepened my studies on that subject in order to complete my final thesis that presents an overview about the more common Conflict Resolution Theory with a special attention on the role of the civil societies expressed by Jean Paul Lederach e Harold H. Saunders. Moreover to witness the real possibility of coexistence between Arabs and Jewish in Israel I spent a month there interviewing different people belonging to interesting experiences of real collaboration.
Since young, I have been practicing sports: I begun with the gymnastics and then I dedicated myself to ice-skating, which I still love to practice.
I like also skiing, swimming and diving.
I belong to a non-professional acting company since 1998: I acted in different plays of contemporary playwrights as P. Claudel, T. S. Eliot and O. V. Milosz.
