I am truly glad I got an opportunity to interview Kajsa Ekis Ekman about her essay "Being and Being Bought: Prostitution, Surrogacy and the Split Self”, recently published in Italian, to discuss the book and what has changed since it was first published. Spoiler alert: not much, unfortunately!
You can read my interview on Nordic Model Now! , that I want to thank for all their efforts to make prostitution a thing of the past.
It was sad for me to miss the award ceremony of my novel "Michelina Di Cesare, briganta" by Il Paese delle Donne. Luckily my wonderful publisher Luigi Lorusso Editore was there so I could watch it on video!
Thank you Il Paese delle Donne and Luigi Lorusso 
I feel so happy that the Swedish Film Association (SFILM) has purchased the screening rights to the cinematic version of my installation about catcalling – “JUST LOOKING” – to broadcast it on their Vimeo channel!
It is going to be there for a limited time, hurry up if you want to see it at this link.
I am deeply grateful to the jury of the historic literary prize for female writers "Il Paese delle Donne" who have – in their twenty-fourth edition – awarded my novel "Michelina Di Cesare, briganta" published by Lorusso Editore with an Honorable Mention in the Fiction section. It is a prestigious recognition that honors me and makes me happy because it helps to spread the story of this special woman. Thank you to "Il Paese delle donne"!
Please rejoice with me: my feature film project extracted from my novel about bandit Michelina Di Cesare was ranked FIRST among the 226 submitted so it is granted a fund of 20,000 Euro for the writing of the screenplay!
I am honored and moved with the recognition this story receives and I am hopeful the right producers will make me shoot the film once the screenplay is completed!
So nice for me to be invited to participate to the first book fair in the town of Skepplanda, organized by Bibliotekets vänner i norra Ale! I got to read one of my stories to a very attentive audience, and I am glad the provincial paper Alekuriren chose to pick a photo with me for their coverage!
The Wedding Cake was selected by the lovely Fantaspoa Film Festival of Porto Alegre (BR) in 2021. Unfortunately, the festival could only be held online back then, but luckily – during the coming Noite dos Museus (“Night of Museums”) that will take place on May 20th – “The Wedding Cake” will be exhibited at “Cinemateca Capitólio”, apparently the most beautiful movie theater in Porto Alegre! I am extremely glad that my short will be screened again in a real cinema in front of a flesh and blood audience!
My VR360 short film “Gang Dance” ready for viewing in Lisbon as part of the Festa do Cinema Italiano from April 1 to 3 in staging at Cinema São Jorge! I am excited about this screening (details are here), and moved by the words of presentation written by the festival organizers: “A colossal project, premiered in Milan at the Filmmaker Festival. A dance performance that engages and oppresses, denying any form of escape. A symbolic journey into the universe of social networks, reflecting on the abuse of bodies and images, between exposure and sharing.”
A marvel! Go if you are in Lisbon, free entrance.
I am really thrilled I will be reading some of my poems in both Swedish and Italian at the Frölunda Kulturhus! On March 21st it is the World Poetry Day and I got an invitation to read at the Kafé Kultans poesiscen during the Poetry & Music event, starting at 6pm.
You are most welcome to join me!
