After achieving her diploma and also this of repairing and restoring stringed instruments, she stayed for another two years in Cremona making new instruments and attending a bow making course. She then worked for almost one year with the master violin maker Martin Michalke in Oldenburg (Germany). From 1995 until 2000 she worked for Serge Stam, master violin maker and expert in Utrecht (Netherlands), where she had the opportunity to see, study and work on important antique instruments.

At present she lives and works in Cremona, where she opened her own atelier in 2001. Besides restoring, she mainly concentrates on making new violins, violas and cellos inspired by the classical Cremonese masters.
