Hello! My name is Marina! A friend I met on the plane to Brazil calls me "the little explorer." I think she's right!

I am passionate about travel, nature, art, and architecture, drawn to everything that is different from me, everything that is foreign and unknown.

Twenty years ago, thanks to the international exchange program Erasmus, I discovered France and immediately fell in love with it. After completing my undergraduate studies in Rome, I seized the opportunity to pursue art history studies at the renowned Ecole du Louvre in Paris.

I arrived in Paris full of hope and with the determination to stay! And so, between ups and downs, love and challenges, I spent 13 years in the most romantic capital in the world. I knew Paris like the back of my hand, but as I love adventure, discovering new places, and embracing new challenges, I made the decision to move to the south of France, to Nice, the city where my two best friends from Paris had relocated!

Nice was a heartwarming experience for me! I felt like I was back in my hometown, Formia, nestled between the sea and the mountains, just like Nice. As soon as I unpacked my bags in my new apartment, I said to myself, "Why didn't I move here sooner?"

The architecture, colors, mild climate, vegetation, blue sky, sea, and mountains - everything reminds me of Italy at every moment. I feel like I'm enjoying the best of both cousin countries!
