Angela D’Alia teaches and lives among the hills of the province of Enna. She describes herself as someone with her head in the clouds and her feet planted firmly on the ground, and with this philosophy she tries to balance working life with her need to write. She has painted murals, decorated benches, and created set designs for a local community association. Whenever she can, she retreats into the quiet of the countryside, where she writes or devotes herself to restyling old furniture.
