Beat the best: Top Bilbao explorers
Italian-Mexican, born in the beautifully chaotic Rome. I studied Mathematics in Portland (Oregon), the City of Roses, but I ended up replacing equations with stories. In the elegant Turin I fell in love with film production and screenwriting. Currently living in the surprising Bilbao. I find inspiration in places with a river and mountains that overlook the city.
