Why did you become an entrepreneur? When I met my fiancée, my husband today, he was already in business.
How have you come to chose your line of business? He had already started a line which was more based on souvenirs and as time went by we widened to souvenirs, works of art, collectables, furniture, etc… I find it very interesting, challenging and it's a sort of thing we both me and my husband like.
Where did you go on your last holiday?
Italy. I love the Italian culture, food, fashion and the people themselves. I feel one of them when I'm there. I learnt a long time ago that even it's a big country people are themselves, have families, have a mutual respect for each other and foreigners, they make you feel comfortable even when you are dealing with them on business.
What is your earliest memory?
I was very young and my mother was expecting a baby and they told me I would have a brother. I was very excited! We grew very fond of each other.
If you could chose to be someone famous who would you be?
I admire a lot of famous people such as Mother Theresa, Hilary Clinton, Margret Thatcher, who I found impressive in the way she managed politics and economic, Lady Diana and how she was sensitive she was to the people. But nobody I can say I would really like to be. I'm happy to be me. If I was someone else I would not have the family I have which I care about dearly.
