• Your hidden spot: Live music nights at the Planetarium Ulrico Hoepli in Milan. Not many people (even locals) know about it and is a goosebumps experience.
• Your lucky number: 10
• The inescapable color: At the moment yellow.
• A love song: “El lugar correcto” by Natalia Lafourcade. It’s a love song for oneself.
• Your cheesy song: “My Girl” by my Italian friends Tropea. It is very cute!
• Movies to watch over and over again: La Vita è Bella and The Godfather.
• A drink to celebrate: An Aperol Spritz for everyday wins, and an Espresso Tequila Martini to celebrate for hours! 
• Your (not so) secret celebrity crush: Louis Garrel.
