She graduated in piano from the “L. Boccherini” Conservatory in Lucca and began her artistic journey at a young age, leading her to perform on stages around the world.
As a singer, pianist, performer and songwriter, she has appeared on major Italian television and radio programs and has performed in prestigious international venues across Europe, the United States, Asia, Russia and Africa, presenting projects that integrate music, spoken word, dance and visual elements within a multidisciplinary artistic vision.

A polyglot artist deeply passionate about the cultures she encounters, Ilaria sings and records in numerous languages — including Spanish, French, Portuguese, Armenian, Arabic, Hebrew, Russian and Swahili — in addition to Italian and English, contributing to multilingual recording projects as a tribute to the countries that have welcomed her throughout her artistic journey.

“An extraordinary profile, set in an ethically firm and clear personality, Ilaria besides being a woman of the utmost integrity, is also a refined musician, a person of great human and artistic depth…
…considering the musical and human talents of this young artist, I would anticipate, for her, a bright future full of satisfaction.”
