In the 2016, she won and had the debut of the same role in the Arena Montecroci of Messina with the Tirana Philharmonic Orchestra and a first-rate Cast directed by Maestro Orazio Baronello.

Following this success she inherited the artistic surname of the maternal grandfather, the well-known tenor of world fame Tito Del Bianco, and wins the World Tournée of "Suono Italiano-Friuli in Musica 2017 ", being selected as "Best young professional singer to represent Italian's Excellence in the World", project which highlights young emerging Italian talents, promoted in patnership by the CIDIM and the Friuli Foundation, with the collaboration of the Conservatory J.Tomadini of Udine.

She has been called “The Friuli Excellence Abroad” by the italian press of Peru as well as by the Councilor for Culture Torrenti and received, among the many appreciations, those of the Italian Consul of the Embassy of Chicago.

She performed in a lot of important events and places in Italy and abroad among which we name: the Superga Theatre in Torino, the Giovanni da Udine Theatre, the Theatre of Cagliari, the Euromusic Festival in Vienne (France), the Slovenian Parliament of Ljubljana (Slovenia), at Mestni Muzej and in the Hall of Svetovni Slovenski Kongress of the Slovenian capital and in the Caporetto Theatre (Slovenia), at the European Mittelfest 2014 event, where she took part of the staff selected for Verdi's Requiem in occasion of the tournée directed by M.

learning and perfecting her own vocal technique by experimenting with roles of known opera repertoire, but also with the liturgical chant, the musical genre the chamber repertoire and

with the operetta, singing in English, French, Spanish, Slovenian and German.


She has indeed participated in prestigious national Masterclasses, among which we remember the one she was selected by the famous mezzosoprano Luciana D'Intino in 2012 and that of the famous soprano Denia Mazzola Gavazzeni in 2016, and International ones, such as the Masterclass held by tenor Raùl Gimenez ("21st Curso International de Verano Cos i Music") held in 2008 in Palma de Mallorca (Spain).

The achievement of success in the operatic field, together with the existential experience of the singer, have made her acquire important key tools useful to elaborate in a specific Method of singing teaching based on expressive freedom, such as to transmit and guide people to regain possession of power that comes from the correct use of one's voice.


She is always active in deepening the study of Art Therapies as an instrument of well-being and she is prolific in conceiving and proposing art therapy projects of her own inventiveness to institutions and associations (such as "In-canto: giving voice to the breath", "Dal Mantra al Canto as a creative and rehabilitative experience ").
