my story
Parts of me
“My writing went through pauses and restarts, often dictated by the ups and downs of life and the commitments of my profession as a lawyer and my family duties as mother of three children. I wrote several nonfiction books both in English and in Italian and then for a few years I stopped writing. Ultimately, life’s twists and turns brought me back to poetry.
I believe art has the power to wait for us and reawaken when we are ready…”
Stefania Lucchetti
is a contemporary Italian poet and essayist. She is bilingual (Italian-English) and writes in both languages.
Born in 1975 in Italy, she saw her first poem published at the age of 13 while living in the US with her family, marking the beginning of a long journey as wordsmith. After the diploma at the liceo classico Alighieri in Gorizia and juris doctorate from the Catholic University of Milan in 1999 with a thesis on the liberalisation of the telecommunications regulatory framework, she embarked on a career as a multiqualified lawyer in the field of international commercial law in Milan, London and Hong Kong, without ever ceasing to write. Among the first Italian lawyers to specialize in telecommunications and new technologies, she advised several early internet pioneers during the dot-com boom. Lucchetti was the first Italian lawyer to also qualify as a solicitor in Hong Kong SAR, after qualifying in the UK. She also obtain a second master’s degree in clinical psychology out of personal interest and to enrich her knowledge base and her writing.

"I have always believed that ideas have a life of their own, existing in an ethereal realm and knocking at the artist's door....
You have to open the door for that to happen.
My door opened again, wide open.
Aphrodite, alchemical goddess of love and creativity, took over.
I resumed a love affair with art."
