I require a stable, flat surface for the harp, access to shade or cover in case of rain or intense sun. For indoor venues, access to an elevator is appreciated if there are stairs.
I need to know whether the performance area is indoors or outdoors, the type of flooring (grass, gravel, tiles, etc.), and if there is shelter in case of rain or strong sun. It’s also important to know if there is easy access for loading/unloading the harp (especially avoiding stairs when possible), parking availability nearby, and how early I can access the venue to set up.
I don’t provide lighting, but I do have a small speaker that I can use if needed. Alternatively, I can easily connect to the venue’s sound system with a standard audio cable. Just let me know in advance so I can bring the right setup.
Yes, I can personally manage a Spotify-style background music playlist before and between my sets. If a professional DJ service is required, I work with trusted collaborators who can join me for the event.
One of my favorite gigs was a private event in a beautiful garden in Genova, where I played during a communion lunch. The relaxed atmosphere, personal song selection, and interaction with the guests made it truly special.
Another memorable experience was a wedding where the bride and groom chose a unique playlist with songs like Jurassic Park, Pokémon, and Up. It was touching, fun, and completely tailored to them—exactly the kind of personalization I love.
As for venues, I really enjoyed performing at Basara Restaurant in Milan: it was an elegant setting with a wonderful ambience for live harp music.
I really enjoy performing during aperitifs, lunches, or dinners. These types of events allow me to create a refined and relaxed atmosphere with my harp, blending music naturally into the setting. I also love the chance to interact with guests who are often curious about the instrument and the music I play.
I started studying music when I was 6 and fell in love with the harp a few years later. Over time, I began performing at private events such as weddings, ceremonies, and elegant dinners. I’ve now built a repertoire that blends classical pieces with pop and movie soundtracks, and I regularly play for couples, families, and restaurants who are looking for something special and unexpected.
Each gig is a new chance to connect with people through music, and I love tailoring every performance to the atmosphere and the audience.
I’ve been deeply influenced by Italian music, especially singer-songwriters who turn emotions into vivid stories. My favourite artist is Cesare Cremonini—his lyrics feel like short films, full of images and atmosphere.
As for the greatest song of all time, I would say Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen. It’s bold, cinematic, emotionally intense, and timeless. A true masterpiece that, like my favourite music, takes you on a journey from the very first note.
I usually arrive 45 to 60 minutes before the performance to set up and tune the harp. Setup is silent and requires no soundcheck.
Performance times vary depending on the event, but I typically play for 1 to 2 hours with short breaks if needed. For weddings and ceremonies, I follow the flow of the key moments (entrance, rings, signing, etc.) and adjust accordingly.
Yes, I’m happy to perform outdoors as long as there is a flat, stable surface and protection from direct sunlight, wind, or rain. The harp is a delicate instrument, so I always require some form of cover—like a gazebo, canopy, or shaded area—to ensure it’s safe to play.
I have a curated repertoire that blends classical, pop, and movie soundtracks, and clients are welcome to choose their favourites from this list. I also accept up to two special song requests outside the repertoire, if given enough notice. I love creating a personalised musical experience that reflects each event’s unique atmosphere.
Clients often describe my performances as elegant, emotional, and unexpectedly moving. Many guests are surprised by the versatility of the harp—especially when I play pop songs or movie soundtracks—and they often say the music created a magical and unforgettable atmosphere. I’ve also received lovely comments about how the harp added a personal, poetic touch to the day.
