Daniela Leporati dedicated her life to studying and teaching, with the firm conviction that knowledge represents a personal heritage to be nourished with commitment and sacrifice so that it can be made accessible to new generations. She was always studying, earning two high school diplomas in the field of graphic design and applied art in fashion and costume, a diploma from the Academy of Fine Arts, a degree in ‘Expert in training processes’ in 2007, as well as other specialisation courses. After a five-year professional experience in advertising graphics, from 1990 she taught fashion design at the Vallauri Institute of Carpi. She passed away at the age of 54 in November 2016, shortly after graduating with full marks from the University of Rimini.
