why
the gentle lady
Gentle lady because I believe in kindness and respect.
Respect for people, animals, the environment, but also for others’ ideas and opinions.
I believe that only through being kind spirited, by taking care of ourselves and of our surroundings, we will be able to live a truly happy existence.
Kindness is not the absence of strength, but rather, it is the expression of a great power: the power to make a difference. Kindness is such a rare and precious quality that it must be cultivated day by day in order to never lose it. Kindness is beauty, and being kind is “cool”…it is no coincidence that I always say: “gentle is the new sexy”!
Career
Becoming a doctor was probably written in my DNA, as was choosing the branch of gynecology and obstetrics, since on my Mom’s side we are all doctors and I represent the third generation of gynecologists.
It was perhaps also inevitable that I would practice my profession with a modern twist and an entrepreneurial mind, since on my dad’s side we are all entrepreneurs.
Since my childhood I have always made myself shield and armor for the weakest and, thanks to my education in international schools, I have always kept an open-mind towards both people and things different or unknown to me. I like to understand the “whys” and “hows” of things and for this reason scientific subjects have always fascinated me, but my curiosity and fascination for beauty have made me develop a real passion for the arts.
I graduated Summa Cum Laude in Medicine and Surgery in 2013 from the Vita-Salute San Raffaele University in Milan.
In the summer between my third and fourth year of university studies, I have decided to go to Brazil for a medical voluntary work experience. During this challenging but beautiful experience I have realized how wonderful the female body is, capable of creating life from nothing.
I have participated in the first Italian national exam to gain access to a medical residency training program and managed to enter my first choice: gynecology and obstetrics at the University of Brescia. When working at the hospital “Spedali Civili” of Brescia, I gained experience in all fields of gynecology and obstetrics by performing surgeries in the operating theater, delivering babies in the delivery room, taking care of patients both in the outpatient setting and in the gynecology ward … reserving a particular attention to the field of gynecological oncology.
I felt passionate regarding the preservation of fertility in cancer patients, and, for this reason, during my residency I have attended the Women’s Health Institute in Barcelona under the direction of Prof. Santiago Dexeus, enriching my skills in the field of assisted reproduction.
I graduated from residency Summa Cum Laude in 2019 and have been focusing my medical practice on fertility ever since.
Fun Facts
I'm a real foodie!
Mattia, the love of my life, is the one doing all the cooking at home for I love to eat, but not to cook!
My super favorite meal is breakfast, but when I’m sad those who love me know, an ice cream is what it takes to make me smile again!
I'm crazy about stationery!
Going into a stationery shop makes me feel like a magpie in a jewelry shop. I always want to buy everything: from funny shaped erasers, to colorful notebooks and sparkly highlighters! Colored pens and pencils are my passion and my “secret weapon” when I study.
The accessory that is never missing in my life
I have a radio placed in every room of my home, not only because without music life tastes less, but also because the family business that most matters to me is radio broadcasting!
My parents were pioneers in Italian radio broadcasting, both at the national and local level. My favorite radio is a local radio that bears my grandfather’s name: Radio Babboleo, the radio that all Ligurians know and love.
The Babboleo Radio Group, of which I am now a member, founded “Babboleo Onlus”, a charity aimed at helping Ligurian families in need. During the Coronavirus pandemic, thanks to the collaboration with the Ligurian company Mestel Safety, we have provided protective devices to all intensive care units in Liguria. I am very proud to have coordinated this project and to have brought it to completion in record time, because solidarity is fundamental in these times as never before.
Health is...
I believe health is harmony between body and mind. It is therefore essential to like oneself and feel good in our bodies to be truly healthy.
For this reason I have graduated in aesthetic laser therapy and laser surgery and attend the renowned Agorà School of Aesthetic Medicine in Milan.
Zodiac sign?
Taurus, ascendant: Leo.
According to the Chinese calendar I was born in the year of the dragon!
I CANNOT stand…
I do not tolerate nasty behaviors and injustices, but what angers me the most is ignorance, for it leads to hatred of those who are or think in a different way.
My weak spot?
Hygiene!
I am obsessed with cleanliness and tidiness. Literally EVERYTHING in my home is disinfected.
Whenever I watch a movie and an actor puts his shoes on the bed I feel like fainting! … Someone save me!
International spirit
I grew up attending international schools and becoming a native English speaker.
I graduated from high school at Aiglon College, a prestigious English boarding school nestled in the Swiss Alps.
I speak 5 languages of which the most recently learned is Danish! 🇩🇰
