She frequently collaborates with Italian musicians and bands, further grounding her work in the cultural context of the music she performs.

Il Baluardo is an open-air theatre located within the historic walls of Modena, Italy. Originally constructed as part of the city’s fortifications during the late 16th and early 17th centuries, it underwent significant restoration in the 1990s transforming it into a performance venue. The structure is built directly into the ramparts, offering a unique acoustic environment and seating arrangement that utilizes the existing earthen walls as natural amphitheater seating. It hosts a variety of events throughout the summer months including concerts, theatrical productions and cultural festivals. The venue's historical significance and intimate setting make it a popular choice for both performers and audiences.
