Alba was born on April 16, 1994 in Ponte San Pietro, Italy, where she was raised until she moved to Boston in 2004. She was affectionately known as “Solare” because she always had the brightness of the sun in her eyes and was always smiling.

After achieving a Bachelor’s Degree from Brandeis, she attended Boston College to earn a Master’s Degree in Italian Language and Literature.
