Silvia Beghè was born in Poggibonsi in 1959.
Since she was a child, she grew up surrounded by art and artists, some friends of her father, who was an artist and art collector too, and others met during the several cultural events that Silvia has always attended.
She graduated at Istituto d’Arte Duccio di Buoninsegna in Siena, with a great success in the ceramic field.
