My name is Silvana Canducci, born in Pesaro on December 5, 1960. Fourth of seven children, I grew up in afamily that has passed on to me the values of empathy and solidarity towards others and also to work hardto achieve your goals. Support teacher for more than thirty years, I have poured into my workthese values and the sensitivity that distinguishes me which, combined with the indomitable character, has supported me inroad taken. This work, together with the vicissitudes of life, inspired many of my verses.
