I’ve been working with Giulia for over two years, and she is a highly talented violinist. Her performances consistently impress, and she knows how to create a wonderful atmosphere at events. Giulia is not only nice and easygoing but also responsible and honest, with a great personality. I highly recommend her!

Our wedding ceremony had exactly the atmosphere I always dreamed about, thanks to Giulia’s playing. She handpicked the setlist with very tasteful pop songs. I would highly recommend her !
