About Me

My photo
Nelina Kapetsoni
I was born in London where my parents took me to all the great museum of the town before I was one. I grew up in Athens, Greece where I live and the first books I read where about ancient Greek myths. It was not however until I was 20 that I decided to learn more about the past. I studied art history, history and archaeology and I'm passionate about everything that belongs to the past (ancient, medieval, early modern, modern)!
