1. What do you love and what do you “hate” in your profession?
I love the diversity of my activities, the flexibility in my schedule and the fact that I get to meet many people from various backgrounds and with various professional skills. I am in a very lucky position to be able to say that I love my job and I cannot think of anything I dislike about it.
2. Who is your favorite athlete and why?
Annie Thorisdottir. I think she has an incredible aura. She is one of the world’s fittest and strongest women but also has this fantastic charisma, charm and kindness in the way she carries herself. She won the Crossfit games twice and managed to be on the podium a year after giving birth to her first child. Definitely someone I would love to meet one day!
3. Dirty (Street food) or high gastronomy?
Neither…
4. If you were a variety, which would you be and why?
Nerello Mascalese. I think it is a grape that fits perfectly the saying: “an iron hand in a velvet glove”. It also has a deep connection with its terroir, and it comes from the South of Italy, an area famous for its Mediterranean cuisine. I feel we are a perfect match! lol

21. What do you think is the meaning of life?
I don’t think that life has only one single meaning. The probabilities of being born are apparently 1 in 400 trillion … what an incredible thing to get to experience life! In some way, I think the meaning of life can be found through love, being at peace with your inner self and some level of spirituality but there it is personal. Each of us, from the moment we are born, embark on a different journey so it is hard to think that there is a single meaning to all of this.
