"My father was a piano teacher, while my mother played the piano: it goes without saying that the passion in me was born very early and that my parents have always supported me, advising me to play the classical piano while I was singing. I lived my life with everyone singing around me – whatever passion I had, my family always supported me. If this doesn't happen, you unfortunately start with one point less."
"When I was ten I was very sure of myself; once a year I skied and on that occasion I was always convinced that I would win all the competitions and in fact I did. I threw myself into it without fear. Then I moved on to tennis and I started to be more afraid of making mistakes. I got scared and started making more mistakes than I would have if I hadn't had all that paranoia. I started to doubt myself, to have no self-esteem. On some days it's freezing, on others it's below zero. I am very self-critical and I always want to give my best, I think this is the reason. I feel a bit Sexy Magica: I understand it as synonymous with carefreeness. I do what I feel like doing, I'm myself."
"I still don't feel like populate. Of course, walking through the streets of my city there are people who stop and ask me for a photo, it's a beautiful thing."
"In my opinion Amici is not a competition or just a talent show, but a school of life, because a leap like this is only made when human relationships are real, when you are "friends" with a capital "A". At four years old my father Marco asked me what I wanted to do as a hobby. I told him that I wanted to play the piano, which was already played in the family, and to play tennis. My parents immediately allowed me to do both. I consider myself very lucky. Tennis, which I played at a competitive level, was fundamental. It's an individual sport: if you win, you just win, ditto if you lose. On the field I almost eat the ball as much as I want to do it."
"Every day I do new things, I'm very happy to live in this loop. I live tossed around Italy, but I'm very excited. I've been singing since I was little, I've never actually studied. But in the villages there were the first experiences of singing in public. I listen to a lot of different music, I don't listen to rap that much. I mostly listen to pop. I like melodies that are beautiful to sing. I am lucky that I have many trusted people who follow me. I also have my sister who is working with me a little, she has no reason to wrong me, when she tells me something I'm sure she is saying it for my good."
"I am in favor of criticism because I think that even negative criticism helps everyone grow, both as a person and as an artist. For me it's important to know from people who don't like you what the reason is for trying to improve yourself. Among the compliments, however, I am pleased when they tell me that I am genuine and simple. I like that it comes out that I'm not a big person. I feel like the same person as before with a little more awareness. Before I was completely out of this world and now I'm realizing that I can face it. Obviously there are people who like me who support me and, therefore, having this little extra awareness doesn't hurt."
