Italian girl living in the US. Loving it so far.
PhD student in Italian and Film at UCLA. My main research interests are Italian political cinema, issues of Impegno in recent and contemporary Italian , and the representation of the real in the cinema medium. The filmmakers I prefer are (in no particular order): Petri, Rossellini, Wertmuller, Bellocchio, Sorrentino, Garrone, Fellini, Rosi… etc.
Metal girl, ex goth – now tends to be confused. Elegance and timeless class the goals. Driven, determined, yet romantic and often daydreaming. Strong willed and blunt honest, yet somehow sweet. Intelligent, smart cookie. Nerdy and geeky, yet very sociable. Love good wine and cats. Passionate for languages, work, good books and good cinema. Oh, and I dance salsa: all the time.
