I was born and bred in Lyon, France, where I lived until I was 22 years old. I then moved to Italy, where I have lived on and off for 40 years, and Thailand, my other chosen homeland for now over 30 winters.
After having spent a long period in the Northern Italian city of Bologna, I had the lucky opportunity to buy this beautiful country villa on the Elba Island with two other friends, and I ended up making it my home. We restructured it and decorated it to reflect my biggest passions and interests: the East of the World, travelling, art and interior design.
