The "Alchemic Dream" of Francesco I de' Medici started when he bought a piece of dry, untamed and inhospitable piece of land which connected Florence to the Tuscan-Emilian Appennines. He channeled the waters coming from twelve springs from Mount Senario to build an extraordinary Garden where myths, alchemy and symbolism could merge along with the secret mechanism of Nature.

In 2009 she participated on the writings of Antichi Sapori, which aims to share gastronomic customs now long forgotten. She is passionate about iconographic paintings both as an ancient painting technique and as a symbolic study of form and colour.
