I was born in Sienna. I began by studying the piano and as a child sang in an amateur chorus. They had me sing as a soloist, but I did not want to study voice. I began piano at the age of 8 and thought singers were not real musicians! Then I met a Polish soprano who was teaching in Sienna, Anastasia Tomarcewska Schepis, and at the age of 18 I began lessons.
The summer courses at the Accademia Musicale Chigiana in Sienna gave me the opportunity to study with Shirley Verrett, Alfredo Kraus and Carlo Bergonzi.

In 1992 I did my last year of studies in Italy in Verona, and started doing voice competitions, among these Treviso (Toti dal Monte) which allowed me to make my debut in The Turk in Italy. This was followed by 2 years of study in Munich at the Hochschule für Musik, the "Neuen Stimmen" prize and the finals of the Belvedere in Vienna.

For a year, I was a member of the Bonn Opera, where I began in the role of Nicklausse in Les Contes d’Hoffmann. Then more competitions ("Ricciarelli" in Mantua, Mario del Monaco), followed by appearances at La Scala, Bologna, Seattle, Barcelona, Lausanne, Paris and Florence.
