She graduated from a scientific high school with a perfect score of 100/100. In 2018, she obtained a Bachelor's degree in Physics and Astrophysics from the University of Florence.

Together with Eleonora, she attended specialized courses in recording studios at Labella Studio, earning the title of Sound Technician, and pursued a course in Electronic Production, Mixing, and Mastering, deepening her knowledge of Ableton Live and electronic music production. With the acquired skills, she started producing Golden Salt's content with the intention of building an international fanbase for the Golden Salt duo from scratch, aiming to perform live for international audiences.
Arianna is also an entrepreneur, producer, and owner of the Golden Salt Store, a videomaker, and a video colorist. She has produced, edited, and colored the videos of the Golden Salt duo.
