The daughter of a theatre critic and translator from Liguria and an artist from Turin,[2] she was born in Milan and was educated at the University of Milan, receiving a degree in philosophy in 1996. In 1988, she published her first book La grande Eulalia, a collection of short stories[3] which won the Giuseppe Berto Prize.[1]
