Melissa was born in Milan to Albanian parents, the second child after a sister. Since she was a baby she transmitted a lot of positivity, she had always been smiling, a very beautiful and affectionate kid. 

Melissa is still very sweet today. 

When she was like 1 to 3 years, she has usually been recovered for a heavy bronchitis, and we thought for a long time that maybe this cause contributed to her cognitive and linguistic delay. 

Despite this, Melissa can follow with her mind what happens around her, she could not develop more into behaving like all the others do as performance, and she could not give any exam at school because of limited learning skills. Maybe it’s not that she doesn’t have the capacity to give better performances, but it has not been worked enough with her to improve, due to unexpert professionals and social isolation from activities of children of her age. 

Melissa is passionate about music, dancing (in fact she attended a high school with lots of music and dancing classes) and she’s talented in intonation and in following the sounds. She likes a lot going to lyrical opera theatre which usually includes ballets, and she likes drawing and painting.

Right now Melissa attends weekly a chorus course, a hip-hop dance course, a painting course and she is attending right now, but has been attending for many years, horse riding and swimming. 

In fact she loves being in contact with animals and doing physical activity. 

She loves being around people and talking to them (at least she attempts as she can), and she strongly needs friends.
