A free soul and a rebellious spirit, Paola has been at the helm of the FIT since 2016. As a teenager, she crossed continents on her Vespa to discover new horizons, and it was while wandering that she met the theatre. It was love at first sight.
\r\n
\r\nNow her mission is to help the world discover the Great Lugano and the world to discover it.

Originally from Bologna but raised in Lausanne, Katia, after numerous wanderings, finally stops in Ticino where she embarks on the dynamic adventure of the FIT since 2017.<\/p>

An art historian, press officer and cultural mediator, she is always running between cinemas, museums and theatres, never forgetting to practice her daily yoga to stay focused and face the countless FIT projects with a peaceful mind.<\/p>

\nHis role for the next few years will be to “shadow” us all. He has the experience of a performer\/actor and therefore the ability to be a chameleon.<\/p>\n
