Veronica is 32 years old and was born in Südtirol (Italy) in 1992. 
She grew up in a big family with seven siblings.

Her parents, who overcame many obstacles in life, influenced Veronica's mindset from an early age.

 Her father, Francesco, lost both his parents when he was only 21 years old and decided to raise his four younger siblings. 

Veronica’s mother, Rosvithe, grew up in a poor family, where basic things like water, food, and, the most important, love were often lacking.

Rosvithe’s life has been one of sacrifice since her childhood, with the constant fear of being worthless. 

But Rosvithe and Francesco faced their traumas in an incredible and inspiring way... counting on unconditional love for each other and the faith in God.

They were able to see the world through a different lens and be a huge inspiration for Veronica. 

Rosvithe and Francesco gave birth to eight children and managed to create a united family, giving them a unique outlook on life through faith and overcome pain using a different perspective. 

Unfortunately, Rosvithe and Francesco didn't know they would have to face one of the greatest pains of their lives. Their fourth son, Daniele, at the age of 13 months, one night got heavily sick and was brought urgently to hospital.

He was diagnosed with fulminant meningitis. Heartbroken, the doctors announced his future death. 

However, even if everything seemed to be lost, a glimpse of light shone through the darkness. Rosvithe was pregnant. Veronica was growing joyfully in her womb.

Veronica believes that her story and destiny began in that exact moment.

Daniele miraculously survived the disease and is today the greatest love and miracle of the whole family. 

But even if the brother survived the disease, he had to start a long path of handicap, and there were years in which his screams and the concern of the parents worried and left Veronica helpless and sad.

Though Veronica could not change the reality outside her door, within her little room, she had crafted a haven where the power of imagination reigned supreme. And in those moments, she learned that even in the face of adversity, the heart could soar on the wings of creativity.

Her drawings became more than just an escape; they were a testament to her resilience and hope. As she sketched fairytale castles and enchanted gardens, she felt a sense of control and peace that eluded her in the real world. It was in these moments of creation that Veronica discovered her own strength and the boundless power of her dreams.

Veronica grow up in the beautiful town of “Ortisei,” surrounded by nature, animals and traditions that had a fundamental impact on her life and her art too.

She learned that the world is a beautiful place even if bad things can be a part of completing her destiny. Glimpses of light can be everywhere, and that's why Veronica’s art stands out in today’s world. 

“Colors can shine even brighter in the darkness.”

Veronica wants to again be that glimpse of light that brought her parents so much joy in the darkest moment of their lives. 

You might wonder how a glimpse of light can change something? Remember:

“A small glimpse of light can illuminate even the darkest room.”
