After completing her studies with distinction at the Conservatorio San Pietro a Majella in Naples, she embarked at a very young age upon a solo career, appearing on the most prestigious national and international stages.

Having first established herself in the Baroque repertoire (collaborating with A. Florio, O. Dantone, R. Alessandrini, J. Savall, Sonatori della Gioiosa Marca, and P. Kopp), she then joined the Young Artist Program of the Teatro dell’Opera di Roma, where she took on leading roles in the bel canto repertoire (Violetta in La Traviata directed by S. Coppola, Madama Cortese in Il Viaggio a Reims directed by D. Michieletto, Donna Anna in Don Giovanni and the Countess in Le nozze di Figaro, both under the direction of Vick). Winner of numerous competitions, her particular vocal versatility enables her to devote herself successfully both to contemporary writing and to the chamber repertoire. She has enjoyed noteworthy collaborations, including with Nicola Piovani, who chose her for his La Vita Nova and Padre Cicogna (broadcast on the RAI networks), with Silvia Colasanti, in whose Arianna e il Minotauro (melologue) she recently appeared, and with Marco Sollini, with whom she recorded a CD of Rossini arias. In 2022 she made her debut in the theatre of her native city, the Teatro San Carlo in Naples, in the role of Lisa in La Sonnambula, receiving wide acclaim from both public and critics. In 2024 she made her Puccini debut as Magda in La Rondine at the Teatro Coccia in Novara, under the baton of J. Bernancer. She has an extensive discography with labels such as Eloquentia, Glossa, Naïve, Stradivarius, Urania Records, Brilliant Classics and Berlin Classics, and she continues her artistic refinement under the guidance of Maria Ercolano.
