Living in art and creating beauty has been the basis of my education, the secret of my success.

After a 30-year- long career as La Scala Étoile, I left dance because the children of today – the civilization of tomorrow– deserve to have the same educational opportunities to build the future they wish to have.

I believe that Art considered as a means of entertainment, or worse, as a therapy is, on the contrary, the fundamental condition of a person, through which he/she creates, invents, fulfils.

This is the focus of Masters of Art of PENSARE oltre: the new educational model, devised and spread by the Cultural Foundation to provide a protagonist’s – not a spectator’s – learning.

In fact the difference and the uniqueness of each of us are a real value, an essential patrimony of every civilization”.
