“For me, a 24 year-old with deep roots in the Dolomites, Domus Academy was a true test bed and an opportunity of intellectual enrichment, that I could project myself in a strong international dimension. I remember that at least once a week they would give us lectures and tell us about their creative world with visions of a very distant reality. A really special school of life.”
