Very good Francesco! Pine is a good wood to begin with. Not too hard or dense.
I'm not sure what other woods are available to you over there, but Mahogany is also a good wood for relief carving, and generally is available internationally. Butternut and Basswood/Limewood are also good alternatives.
Well done.
Bob
