Alice Bontempi was born in Sondalo on January 27, 2000.

She immediately makes people talk about her, already in kindergarten in fact teachers express concern about this child who ''is not able to produce spontaneous drawings and when she does she almost exclusively uses black and brown.''

She began her career as a writer early when, at age five, she found a spray can in her grandparents' basement and decided to ''decorate'' neighboring homes.

Even at Sondalo Middle School he makes a big splash and is the terror of the janitors who have to clean up the "artwork" he leaves on the desks every day.

She expresses her creativity with compulsive accumulation; her room is filled with stones, salvaged materials and lots and lots of cardboard.

2014 is the breakthrough year for her when she discovers that what for many are vandalistic acts can actually be done freely and there is even a school that encourages these activities.

She then enrolls in the Nervi Ferrari high school in Morbegno, leaving behind a family devastated by the separation and a mother with gastritis. She gains in serenity.

The art high school becomes her second home, so much so that in her senior year she is elected school representative. There is no shortage of stimulation here, and so Valtellina begins to become close to her; thanks to a scholarship she can also go to do damage in Ireland where she stays six months and founds an 'Art Club' at St. Joseph secondary school.

Here she supports herself by painting on commission (the Irish pay well after the second glass of beer).

What was only a passion begins to bring satisfaction and promise for the future.

As he continues to work in illustration he participates in and wins the 22nd edition of Scarpatetti Arte, exhibits at the Valtellina Art Valley group show, and attends the Scuola del Fumetto in Milan.

From the height of his six feet (given) he can well say "Tiny person, BIG DREAMS'".
