Curriculum vitae

I have been blessed with all the people that surrounded me since I was born:
my family, teachers, librarians, kids at school, kids at art schools, and all of my professors and architects (mentors and collaborators) that I worked with,
technical assistants and engineers with out whom the projects can not be designed, as well as my new family by marriage, my daughter, my husband. And a long, long list of our wonderful clients all of whom are gifted with art and gardening talents and many, many other talents.

As an old Italian saying goes:
Good people meet good people and lets pray for each other!!!
