Chiara with our little book at the top of the Gianicolo, which is the highest hill of Rome - the fountain behind her is called Fontana Dell' Acqua Paola, and is a strong and traditional symbol of the eternal city.

I saw Chiara's film, The City of Women - Today (2012)

and LOVED it. The diverse women she featured and deep insight she gained was interesting and moving. The City of Women - Today, focuses on the women of contemporary Italy as a symbol for all other women as the tip of the iceberg of a putative new femininity, illustrates its patterns of behavior and with this, undertakes an intimate search for feminine identity in the 21st century.

Chiara was one of the earliest directors I shared the idea of our book with, and her finding my subject interesting also encouraged me on my path to our book.

Thank you Chiara.
