I passed all the other #NCTJ modules already. Even if I am a professional #journalist in #Italy, I value UK qualifications too. Looking forward to more achievements ๐คฉ

This module is about #PR and Communication for #Journalistsโ: it was useful to understand the job of my colleagues on the other side of the same coin.
๐ Celebrating grade B in my @nctj Level 5 Diploma elective module.
While 63 mark is not the top (the grading system is A-F, 70-0) I think it is a pretty good result for a bilingual speaker, in particular while juggling young children and freelance work.

Hats off - and antlers up - for Duncan Campbell at the LFB Christmas Party tonight. It was such an honour to know him
๐๏ธThere is so much to learn, if you are a mentor and a mentee at the same time. This concept inspired me the other night when I attended the Christmas drinks by @wijuk.bsky.social. Its #mentorship program by #AmandaNunn has been a lifesaver for me and I am so happy to be a member
Thanks sponsor #FSInternational for having me at its table, engaging chats in there ๐ก

It is a wrap! Listen on BBC Sounds to the episode Bellini which is the 5th of #OperaOnAPlate.
We summoned up our journey through Italy, from Verdiโs Emilia Romagna and Liguria to Pucciniโs Tuscany and Rossiniโs Marche, all the way to the south for Belliniโs Sicily.
We will hear from conductor Nicolรฒ #Foron about olive oil from Genoa and we will discover why one of the restaurant at Royal Albert Hall is called.. Verdi. #OperaOnAPlate
We cooked Verdiโs favourite Risotto at the Michelin star restaurant Pipero Roma, guided by its owner Sandro #Pipero. Our #music expert is actor and director Luca #Micheletti who played nine different Verdi's roles so far.
#OperaOnAPlate
Verdi loved his Emilia Romagna's birthplace #Busseto near Parma, and Milan, but happily spent wintertimes in #Genoa and toured all Europe - without crossing any sea! #OperaOnAPlate

As Giuseppe #Verdi played the role of Ambassador of #Italian #food abroad, #OperaOnAPlate travelled to the capital of #Italy #Rome to find out more about his culinary horizons
Listen to their portrait of Giuseppe #Verdi, the author of Traviata, Aida, Rigoletto and many other masterpieces. Their reading of his passion for #Italian #food will reveal many unexpected details. #OperaOnAPlate
Francesco #Dibenedetto holds two #Michelin stars and last week was awarded Best #Chef 2025 by possibly the toughest jury (the association of professional #Italian chef in the UK).
#OperaOnAPlate
Nicolรฒ Foron is a 27-year-old maestro, who loves #cooking as much as conducting (his work with the #LSO London Synphony Orchestra is amazing), composing and playing #piano.

Such an extraordinary duo, on this episode of #OperaOnAPlate dedicated to #Verdi - tonight on BBC Radio 3 and online on BBC Sounds. Such a combination of talents: both conductor Nicolรฒ Foron and chef Francesco Dibenedetto are second to none
#OperaOnAPlate
The #Puccini Museum in Lucca, and then conductor Renato Balsadonna explained so many details of Puccini's life - so many scenes from his work suddenly made more sense and were enriched of meanings.

Getting ready for #OperaOnAPlate dedicated to Giacomo #Puccini, tonight at 9.45pm on BBC Radio 3 and then on BBC Sounds soon afterwards.
Madama Butterfly, Tosca and La Boheme are among my favourite, I was thrilled to discover more about Puccini's background.

BBC Radio 3 features โOpera On A Plateโ from tonight 9.45pm - one episode a day for a week. I loved working on it together with premium voices in Music and Food. Please listen to it and let me know your feedback
With 7 activities completed in a day at LEGOLAND, I can say that in my opinion is unfair to children: they have to wait for hours while standing in a queque, for an activity which is beautiful in itself but lasts a couple of minutes. They need to invent a queque-coping Lego so kids are entertained
50 full minutes for the Fire Academy. It should be called #LegoAgony
#LEGOLAND is big and very well kept, the app is helpful and there is plenty to do. We are blessed with a wonderful autumn sunny day. But hey sure there is nothing to improve 80 minutes time waiting for the Lego Driving School (pictured) and other mayor attractions? Kids are so patient, more than me
After the forever wait, we were rewarded by a ride in a submarine, on a tunnel full of fishes including sharks. It was beautiful but very, very short
