During her Business Administration courses at Queen Mary College in London and the numerous managerial roles she held, her more logical and pragmatic side prevailed; today, she lays bare the creativity that has always accompanied her and that has been enriched thanks to the important humanitarian experiences conducted over the years in India, Afghanistan, and Gaza.Giulia Ligresti presented her LOVE collection in collaboration with Studio Silvia Porro Architects at the Salone del Mobile 2018: elegant chairs handcrafted in gold-plated iron and precious velvets. Giulia followed a wider collection of chairs, consoles, sofas, tables, and sculptures in iron, copper, bronze, and aluminum, all inspired by love. In 2020 Ligresti held her first solo exhibition at the Galleria Glauco Cavaciuti in Milan.
