Childhood

Nina was born in Victoria County, Nova Scotia to New York artists who were inspired to open an art foundry after her father, bronze sculptor Robertino Petronzio returned from his studies at the prestigious Accademia di Belle Arti Firenze in Florence, Italy.

At age eleven Nina was cast to play the female lead "Jo", in the film "Vincent & Me". Tcheky Karyo played the role of Vincent Van Gogh. The film was shot in Holland, France, and Montreal, and her performance won her a nomination for a Genie Award for Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role (1991).[4] The film’s small screen release in the States by Disney was awarded an Emmy for Outstanding Children’s Special.[5]

Nina's travels for the European release and film festival circuit of “Vincent & Me” introduced her to a sensibility of fashion, architecture, and style that she had not yet been exposed to in the woods of Nova Scotia. Once in Europe and having the chance to visit her ancestral Italy, where her father learned sculpture, is what initially peaked Nina’s interest in interior design, home building, and furniture.[6][7]
