A life dedicated to music, an innate talent that soon turned from passion into a vocation for study and a profession at the highest level: Vanessa Benelli Mosell is a pianist and conductor who - carried on the wings of melodies, notes and scores - has travelled all over the world from an early age.

“In every city where I have lived there is a part of me or at least a part of that city has remained within me”, explains the artist who, after leaving Prato, has never stopped. Salzburg, Moscow, London, New York were just some of the stages of a growing process that led her to perform in theaters and auditoriums all over the world.

“I travel a lot by plane, so to be able to feel at home everywhere is definitely an achievement I have reached through the years of travelling away from home I have done and will be doing”. And travelling becomes an integral part of one’s creative life: “Usually on my business trips I listen to the music I play and conduct, so it is unlikely that it is not classical music. Having very little time and room for anything else, I try to make travelling a productive moment”.

The Passenger - A web series by Infra Journal

The Passenger is a collection of stories. A short logbook of travellers from different backgrounds, allowing us to investigate reality from different yet always incredibly close points of view. The leitmotif is travel, but the overall story is broken up into the many stories that we have collected in this video series, highlighting how movement and place are the harbingers of growth, change, encounters, influences. Life and professional experiences. Lots of stories with different voices, to explore, gain insights, understand and, at times, be inspired.
