I'm an Italian-American writer, researcher and creative with an MSc in Psychology of the Arts, Neuroaesthetics and Creativity from Goldsmiths, University of London. My writing and research gravitate around the arts, fashion and culture. I enjoy interrogating these subjects through the lens of history and philosophical theory.
