BrusselsLife with Daniela Terrile

An hyperkinetic person, that's Daniela Terrile. No other way to describe her. Someone/she is always on the move, someone/she (that) cannot stay still. After her Arts degree and Philosophy studies at the Genoa's University, she took on a multitude of jobs over the last twenty years, going from audits to steel industry, from nuclear energy to railways, not to forget medicine! Today and since 2000 she is working for the European Commission.

Upon arriving in Brussels in 2002, she bustled herself with creating a "Club Book". Fully/Wholly in love with literature since her childhood, she just loves to read, and to read about any subjects and in every language. And moreover, she thrives in sharing her readings, in discussing what she has read. Each month, there is a meeting, at a private house, at a restaurant, or at the Cercle des Voyageurs (travellers' circle). Usually, it is a gathering of about thirty people!

Off course this club has a future! Several collaborations with publishing houses and bookshops are on the go, and several future guests are on the cards! Matthieu Lethé
