I was born in Sorengo, on the outskirts of Lugano, and I live in Pregassona. I am originally from Banco, Canton Ticino, where I spent most of my life. I am a therefore a Ticino native, but I would prefer to define myself as a cosmopolitan, since I can easily adapt to international circumstances. Additionally, my mother is from Paris and my father is from Zurich, so they have instilled in me a mix of values that I would say are not “local”.
