Aurora was born in 1991 and grew up between Florence and the Tuscan countryside—landscapes that filled her eyes and mind with the sacred power of art and nature.
From a very young age, she displayed an exuberant physicality. Before even turning one year old, her parents would find her at the top of a bookshelf, without understanding how she got there.
For ten years, she practiced high-level rhythmic gymnastics until an injury forced her to undergo four surgeries over seven years. Gradually, her confidence in her own body diminished.
In 2010, after graduating from high school, she began university studies in the arts at D.A.M.S. (Disciplines of Arts, Music and Performance) in Florence. She also took the opportunity to study for a year at the University of Granada in Spain.
She completed her degree in 2014 with a thesis on choreographer Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui. A few days before defending her thesis, a friend introduced her to aerial circus disciplines through the Associazione Circo Tascabile in Florence.
At twenty-four, ten years after stopping all physical activity, Aurora rediscovered her body and regained the pleasure of movement. Her relationship to art evolved, and she became motivated to pursue circus as a professional path.
In 2015, she joined the FLIC circus school in Turin, where she began specializing in aerial hoop, always drawing on her bodily memory of contortion and object manipulation developed in her youth.
Aurora explores her artistic curiosity by collaborating several times with Roberto Magro, Francesco Sgrò, and Riccardo Massidda.
Two years later, she continued her studies at the National Centre for Circus Arts (CNAC) in Châlons-en-Champagne, where she developed a strong interest in creating a personal movement research around the aerial hoop—combining both fragility and freedom in a body that fully claims its right to express itself.
Her rigor and determination guide her toward ever-renewed research and questioning.
