Arianna Battista

Arianna was born in L'Aquila, amidst nature and mountains.

From a young age, she always loved art and even became an interpreter of it, starting to paint her own works. Her passion for skateboarding, however, became more concrete in the post-earthquake period, when the municipality decided to build a skatepark in memory of some of the earthquake victims.

She started somewhat as a game, but it was destined to become an unconditional love, an outlet, the main form of expression alongside her artistic side. Through intense skateboarding practice, Arianna learned to persevere, to manage her anxieties and fears... because you are forced to get back up when you fall and to be patient to learn.

In addition to being a moment of liberation, skateboarding also changed her way of seeing and living the cities that hosted her from time to time, making her more aware of the territory and the structures themselves where she skates: Arianna celebrates the freedom of spaces and sharing good moments with friends. She now lives in Bologna, where she followed the path traced for her by her own skateboard, which she practices whenever she can. She also continues to paint, when she feels the need.
