Alissa Balocco

Born and raised in Rome, Alissa is an Italian pianist, musicologist and journalist. She graduated at the Santa Cecilia Conservatory and studied Musicology at University La Sapienza. She is now taking a Master’s Degree in Journalism and Communication at Luiss University and her articles have been published on Music.it, ZetaLuiss and HuffingtonPost. Alissa loves Debussy but, if she could, she would like to be reborn as a Mahler symphony. She can’t live without theatre although her friends would say she obsesses even more about her unconditional love for Amy Winehouse and Soul music.
