CONTATTI
A free soul and a rebellious spirit, Paola has been at the helm of the FIT since 2016. As a teenager, she crossed continents on her Vespa to discover new horizons, and it was while wandering that she met the theatre. It was love at first sight.
Now her mission is to help the world discover the Great Lugano and the world to discover it.
A born stakhanovist, always full of new ideas (too many), she tries to achieve her goal: the next FIT cover on the front page of Time magazine!
Originally from Bologna but raised in Lausanne, Katia, after numerous wanderings, finally stops in Ticino where she embarks on the dynamic adventure of the FIT since 2017. An art historian, press officer and cultural mediator, she is always running between cinemas, museums and theatres, never forgetting to practice her daily yoga to stay focused and face the countless FIT projects with a peaceful mind. Her Italian is full of expressions that can only be interpreted by her fellow colleagues, but she is not giving up!
Born in Sarajevo and raised in Lugano, she graduated in communications and media management. She discovered the FIT in 2019, where she finally had the chance to integrate her socialist roots and express her enthusiasm for making order.
When she can, she also makes her young children work for the festival…
She accompanies her colleague Katia on her run between cinemas, museums and theatres, and her two kids on their discovery of the world. And whenever she can, she starts dancing!
