From a young age, Maria showed a keen interest in music and began taking piano lessons at the age of four. As Maria grew older, her passion for music only intensified. She began to take an interest in classical music and started attending concerts and performances with her parents. It was during one of these concerts that Maria was introduced to the cello, and she immediately fell in love with the instrument. At the age of eight, Maria began taking cello lessons and quickly showed a natural talent for the instrument. Her parents recognized her potential and enrolled her in the prestigious Conservatorio Giuseppe Verdi in Milan. Maria excelled in her studies and quickly became one of the top students in her class.

This was a major turning point in her career, as it allowed her to study with some of the most renowned cello teachers in the world. Maria thrived in this environment and quickly established herself as one of the top young cellists in the world.
