Ala, originally from Moldova, was a dedicated French teacher before moving to Italy in 2004. Reuniting with her husband Victor and their children at Villa Romana in 2007, she now helps maintain this historic, green haven just outside the city center. In her spare time, Ala enjoys sewing, baking, and video chatting with her grandson in Moldova. She treasures the vibrant community of Villa Romana but finds her greatest joy at home with Victor. Known affectionately as the queen of Villa Romana, Ala’s leadership and warmth make her an essential part of this cherished ecosystem.
