A note from Sara Puppi
“I behave like a non-Newtonian fluid: hard when hit hard, very soft when stroked. My greatest passion are books (science fiction,non-fiction and fiction) but I also love the elegance of jazz music, as well as Burlesque dance. I always look for the silver lining and I think irony saves lives.”
