After graduating in Art History, I arrived at a very young age in this valley of the Romagna Apennines, the Savio Valley, drawn by the desire to discover, explore and cultivate this “rugged and wild” land. Curious and wandering by nature, I explored many different paths over the years: working in tourism as a hiking and tour guide, practising ceramics, studying medicinal herbs — I am currently responsible for the herb-drying department at Remedia Erbe — and working with vegetarian cuisine. Eventually, through Yoga and the teachings of Paramhansa Yogananda, I found a direction, a way of life, and a path towards Self-realization.
