I have always been fascinated by nature, especially rock morphology, fossils and minerals. Indeed, when I was a child, I used to collect small rocks in my pockets when hiking in the mountains. That is the reason why after school I enrolled in the Geology bachelor’s degree course at the University G. d’Annunzio of Chieti. Fascinated by the power of volcanoes, I decided to move to Florence where I had the possibility to approach to their study. During my master’s degree course at the University of Florence I got passionate about the physics of volcanic eruptions and related hazard.
