Born to an American mother and an Italian father in the beginning of what would be an incredibly hot Italian summer, Allegra spent first three years of her life in Rome living in a small, yet a happy family of four. If you asked her today what she remembered from those first three years of her life, sheâd probably say river and all the green. However, after seven years of marriage, the happy family life was abruptly broken when her parents decided to get a divorce, so Allegra moved to the States with her mother and older brother. And New York was nothing like Rome, not even close.. but it became a home.
Her childhood was a rather normal one, as much as it can be when one parent lives on one continent, and the second on another, but between those long airplane rides between Rome & New York, Allegra had managed to find herself a great set of friends and hobbies that made her life sweeter. The girl learned how to read when she was five years old and ever since then, it has been one thing that was constant in her life.. she could never be seen without a book. So it was no wonder that after high school she had decided to enroll into NYU and study Italian literature & language. Yeah, fine, it was kind of easy to study Italian when youâre a native speaker, but one had to be a bit cunning. But she had another big love - ballet. Allegra was dancing ballet till she was seventeen years old, even dreaming of turning pro, but a sudden knee injury prevented her from doing so.. one could say she had never really recovered from that dream shattering into a million pieces.
Despite one perhaps thinking she was a lone wolf, and she was in a way, there was wildness that was running through that girlâs blood. As much as she liked being alone, she also liked being in huge crowds, always being with people.. as if she needed to be alone so she could be ready to be with people. And one could find Allegra at every damn party, from the ones she would come to surrounded with her friends all the way to those sheâd come to alone, which she didnât mind. That way, she could be whoever she wanted.. a character from the book she was currently reading, perhaps. And drinking wasnât an enemy of hers, but a friend, just as doing drugs wasnât unknown to her. But she had it under control, didnât she? It was during the weekends only, and to be fair, it wasnât even every weekend - not anymore. And perhaps she couldnât even remember when was the last time she even took something. But how many times had she woken up not remembering anything at all?
Her life was good. Or at least it seemed so to her. After numerous copywriter jobs and what not, she decided to hop on the whole Youtube thing. Why not make money while talking about books? After all, it was all she was doing anyways. And after two years of being a part of Booktube, she had built a community of 24k followers, which wasnât a lot, but was also pretty good - it was an income. Not the biggest one, but an income nevertheless. And sure, she was occasionally bartending and what not when money was low, but it seemed to Allegra that she was only a step or two behind the real social media career. And perhaps in the next two years sheâll be one of those Booktubers who could afford to live and work from wherever, but who knew what life would bring to her.. and besides, knowing just how her life was complicated, it didnât seem very likely sheâd ever leave New York.
