Alessandra Bertoldi

WHAT’S YOUR BACKGROUND?

My name is Alessandra Bertoldi, I’m from Verona and I graduated in Fashion Design at the Italian Academy of Fashion Art and Design in Florence.
In order to make this dream come true, I had to go “against” my family, who had other work projects in mind for me. Coming from a scientific high school they believed that the right way for me was to follow in the footsteps of my older sister. But I had a dream and I did everything I could to make it come true. After being able to convince my parents that this would be my path and I would do anything to prove it to them, I left in September 2016 for Florence to embark on the academic path. It has been the best three years of my (albeit still young) life. This new adventure helped me a lot to grow both personally and professionally, I lived with girls from all over the world and thanks to that I was able to open my mind by getting to know different cultures and customs. Florence will always remain my city of the heart, where I was able to undertake my path and realize, in part, my dream.
