1) Tell us a little about yourself. What are you doing now and where do you come from?

I am a young Italian girl of 21 years. I live in a village on the coast with my family, where I grew up. My country is called Lavagna, it is very close to the beautiful Portofino and the Cinque Terre, in the province of Genoa. Currently I study Communication Sciences at the Savona campus, where I live during the week.

2) What are your topics of interest? What do you post on Instagram the most?

My main interest is all about fashion. I love shoes, clothes and bags. I enjoy going to stores to try clothes. I try to post photos that portray me with clothes that I like. On instagram, I also post public photo of my holidays. I love to travel, I like a lot. it’s nice to show the other beautiful places in your photographs

3) How did your Instagram name come about?

My instagram name is simple, because it is formed by the abbreviation of my name, the initial of my first name and the year of my birth date.

4) What are some apps you use to edit your photos? Share with us your photo-editing routine!

I edit my pictures to upload to instagram using different programs. I don’t always edit, because sometimes I think it’s the most beautiful without filters or changes. Among the apps that I use are: PicsArt, VSCO, YouCamMakeUp.

5) Any Instagrammers whom you really like? Which Instagrammer inspires you the most?

Yes, there are some instagrammers that interest me most. For example sara_lecci, myway, ale_magni. They are all young guys who speak of themselves on their instagram profiles. They share their lives, their clothes and their travels. These things I really like.

6) If there’s one thing your fellow Instagrammers just gotta try now, what’s it gonna be?

I probably would try also

7) What’s your favorite part about being an influencer?

I find that being Influencer are both fun and constructive at the same time for themselves. It is an important figure because it influences others. That is the purpose. The most beautiful part is to help others, give advice, share your style with others, accept the compliments and criticisms, improving thanks to criticism

8) What are some of your top tips to brands for running campaigns? How do you maintain authenticity?

To maintain the authenticity and help brands think you should be as simple as possible. Be direct and simple in my opinion is the best advice. Build brands through photos showing the reality.

9) What would your advice be on the importance of quality and original content?

It is very important and at the same time also difficult to maintain this quality and originality. You need to be very thoughtful, make assumptions and solve problems. You have to find something that will surprise and that has a value, something meaningful.

10) What do you like best about partnering with brands?

I think it’s great fun to do collaborations. Now I work with a  brand sponsoring their glasses. I like to test the glasses, to take pictures and then post them on my profile instagram. You need to find the right inspiration to create new enjoyable shooting each time .
