ISTANBUL “If one had but a single glance to give the world, one should gaze on Istanbul.” – The French poet Alphonse de Lamartine (1790 – 1869) wrote thus of the city on the Bosphorus between East and West, a crossroads of peoples and cultures. And Napoleon Bonaparte had said: “If the Earth were a single state, Istanbul would be its capital.”
Moving from one district to another, sometimes it seems to be in Kreuzberg, Berlin, with its colorful graffiti; sometimes, in San Francisco with the streets going down and then up; or in some corners of Rome; or also in a crowded Arabic souk. This city is a blender of colors, smells and traditions, where religions, languages and foods are mixed, where you can look at the whole world.

Sono nata a Pistoia il 19 Maggio 1986. Era un lunedì e faceva molto caldo ma gli anni dopo, quello stesso giorno, sarebbe quasi sempre piovuto. Per metà grossetana, profondamente legata al monte Amiata, cresco con rullini e macchine fotografiche in casa, la musica di Madonna, Prince e i video musicali su Mtv. Divoratrice di libri, fissata con la geografia e il giornalismo, a 9 anni inventai un settimanale (che ebbe successo solo tra parenti e amici) e seguivo con il dito sull’atlante tutte le strade e i fiumi del mondo. Adesso, laureanda in Giurisprudenza a Firenze e quasi giornalista, fotografo tanto, scrivo per un quotidiano della mia città e racconto di cinema, altra mia passione, per un magazine online.
