affirms her artistic personality through her passion for music, fashion design, photography, poetry and dance, with the mission of expressing the value of beauty understood as a set of human qualities such as determination, courage and elegance.

Margherita is recognized as a great performer for her ability to perform Scarlatti's keyboard sonatas, with which she made her debut at Carnegie Hall in New York in 2015, thanks to the Debut International Piano Competition, that awarded her with the First Degree Diploma and the Carnegie Hall memorial medal.
