A form of Art that, for me, has always been about more than meets the eye. A connection that starts from the deepest corners of one’s soul, that resides there and you probably don’t even know it is within you, until something, someone, a convergence of circumstances or events, puts you right in front of it.

In my case it was like this… A woman in her 30s that had lived almost all fantasies, or at least she thought so, was about to discover a new, fascinating World.

“Defined by no man, you are your own story, blazing through the world, turning history into Herstory. And when they dare to tell you about all the things you cannot be, you smile and tell them: I am both war and Woman and you cannot stop me.” -Nikita Gill

When I read this I think at all I have lived until now and how proud I am to be a Woman and when people ask me how it is that I am so confident and sure of myself, memories kick in like a tornado. It’s unbelievable how many different women lay within ourselves, some of them embraced, some undiscovered, some kept there safe in a corner of the soul…

Definitely things are far more interesting when they’re a bit entangled so instead of going straight to the next part of my life story I have decided to relate my experience in the city of my dreams. Somehow Florence has always been associated to important people in my life. I feel that this city “talks” to me in a way that no other place ever did.

Last minute I have decided to go by train because I love to enjoy the journey and also because I had little time at my disposal.

But first let me mention something I have found out very significant.

Initially I wanted to express my point of view on domination but I changed my mind because I have realised that before anything, you might want to know more about me. Learn about my journey that made me who I am today. I’ll try to make it as short as possible :)
