Roberta, also widely knonw as Bobbi, was born in the bucolic central Italian region of Le Marche at the very end of the glittering '80s.

After having accomplished a top grade diploma at the local Lyceum of Humanities, she decided to fly over the Channel to chase her childhood dream to become the new Indiana Jones. So, in 2008, she moved to the United Kingdom to begin her studies at the modernist and famous University College of London. But very soon she realised that it is not 'archaeology' per sè what she is interested in, but what really fascinates her is how the remains that were unearthed from the ground are used in the present stories told by politicians, group leaders, historians and mums or dad by their kids' bed. In particular, she began to research how this past is used to construct the present identity of territories and communities.

Following that, Bobbi had a variety of working experience in the cultural sector: from being an archaeologist to working as project officer in TV broadcast, museum and NGO. In 2014, she went back to her homeland and went back to school; first she attended a course in 'territorial development' with the Garrone Foundation and then a scolarship funded MBA in economy and management of arts and heritage at the Business School il Sole 24 ORE in Milan.

At the moment, she is working in Brussels as junior project manager at KEA European Affairs, a consultancy working for the cultural and creative sector.
