Add to that, sleeping in strangers cars and parking lots,  losing her voice in Egypt, plus other raw adventures. Federica is a very cool lady whose adventurous spirit will make you shake your head and smile.
Admittedly, she has done a few risque things that would not be considerations for the vast majority of the people on planet earth, but in all due respect she has gained a boatload of decent memories from her travels and learnt much along the way.
She has published numerous international scientific journals and performed research  in various subject matters, including digital philology,  multisensory installations,  multimedia heritage,  and digital humanities to name a few.
Check out her podcast, Technoculture.  I wish I had though of that name years ago .
Down to earth, friendly, honest, and charming, I would have loved to chat more over a glass of Peroni or Prosecco. Enjoy.
