What’s the best-kept secret about your hometown?
I was born there, in Pinerolo city, so don’t say it too loud!

What was your introduction into the modelling world?
I was at the Railway Central Station in Milan and was waiting for the train to go home when someone (my future agent) came up to me and asked me if I wanted to be a model. The first thing I thought was ‘Me? I don’t think I have the confidence for that but why not!’. I remember I was embarrassed to take pictures in front of all the people watching us, but then a week later I went into the studio and all of that seemed so unreal, a new fascinating world. I started to love it!

Do you have a lucky trinket that you wear or carry with you at all times?
I don’t, I think I’m lucky enough in this life! But I feel most lucky when I wear all my piercings and earrings.
Who’s the number one person you talk to the most every day?
It’s not just one, but Teresa and Maria, my sisters: we are a well-balanced trio, it’s hard to admit it but I can’t see my life without them!

What does style mean to you? And what are three adjectives to describe your personal style?
Style is one of the multiple ways to express who you are without words; mine is dark, chill, and comfortable!
If you weren’t modelling, what’d you be doing professionally?
For sure I’d be a musician! I’ve been playing drums for 10 years and I’m currently studying at the Music Conservatory in Milano.

Where do you shop?
I love vintage and second-hand/thrift shops!
What’s your favourite song?
Hardest question ever, I enjoy so many genres and artists but in this period of my life I think it’s ‘Need 2’ by Pinegrove, check it out!
