Allegra grew up in a small village in northern Tuscany as the daughter a marble sculptor and a collage artist. She was raised on the works of J.R.R Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, Phillip Pullman, Frank Herbert, and many others, all read aloud to her while she drew and played make-believe. She began to write at the age of eight and hasn't stopped since. Her many years of international travel have given her a well-rounded view of culture and a passion for creating unique and engaging fantastical worlds. As a disabled woman and staunch LGBTQ ally, Allegra hopes to write engaging, diverse, and representative Fantasy and Science Fiction, where people who do not often see themselves center stage get the chance to shine.
