Born in the 40s
My work: La Strega, Rome
I have two homes, one in Rome, Italy and another in the Azores, Portugal (Terceira island) - I'm a generalist, lover of travel and all things interesting. I'm also a gardener of fruits and some veggies. The orchards here at Quinta da Susy are my passion. My motto: The individual is supreme and finds the way through intuition.
