About
I write about culture as a place where art, politics and everyday life collide.
I’m an Italian arts and theatre critic and performance researcher based in Toronto. My work pairs close attention to what happens onstage with cultural analysis—trying to keep the pleasure of storytelling in view.
I hold an MA with honours in Theatre History and Performance Studies from the University of Milan. I write reviews, profiles, interviews and long-form criticism across Italian and Canadian contexts.
