I began dancing when I was a child, learning different styles such as ballet, modern and contemporary dance. As a teenager I ventured into pole sports which led into my participation in several IPSF World Championships, reaching the podium in Canada, Spain and the Netherlands.
Soon after, I began my journey into the world of circus by enrolling in the specialization program at the Accademia Cirko Vertigo in Grugliasco. This was followed by a Bachelor’s Degree in Circus Arts (DAMS – Disciplines of Arts, Music, and Performance), which I completed in 2025 with honours, presenting a final dissertation on site-sensitive representations. In parallel, I have been furthering my professional development at the National Circus School of Montréal, where I will be graduating in June 2026 after four years dedicated to refining a unique dynamic FLYING POLE 2.0 style.
Throughout the years, I had the pleasure of taking part as a solo artist in national and international productions, including “On Fire 2026” Winter Games Opening Show Südtirol Alto-Adige, the 45th Festival Mondial du Cirque de Demain, Cirko Vertigo’s “Cinema e Circo: una lunga storia d’amore” at Turin’s National Cinema Museum (Mole Antonelliana), TEDxBrixen 2022 at the Astra Theatre, as well as the TV shows Game of Talents and Amici di Maria de Filippi.
In 2023 I founded the creative enterprise Homeland Productions, with the idea of exploring performing arts and the human experience. That same year, we released our debut project, “Homeland – A New Guinness World Record“, a short film produced in collaboration with Carezza Dolomites. The work blends natural landscapes, live music, and performing arts, featuring a world-record aerial pole act performed 139.26 meters above the ground in the heart of the UNESCO Dolomites.
I am active internationally as a flying pole artist and contemporary mover, and via Homeland Productions (Italy-based) as producer and artistic creator for small to mid-scale projects. I am also open to collaborations within larger artistic or production teams to explore new creative contexts.
