Sara has incredible charisma, she fills the room with her presence. And she is shamelessly beautiful. That kind of beauty that captures attention because it overflows from her entire being, so extremely feminine and at the same time absolutely impetuous. She too, like Luigina, was introduced to me by Greta.
Born in Trentino, Sara moved for love to Bassano del Grappa (which, compared to her Levico Terme, seems like a metropolis to her) where she has lived for a couple of years. She started as a graphic designer but discovered the profession of copywriter and creative writing, and fell in love with it. She has an editorial project in the pipeline, a blog, where she will talk about femininity from another point of view, but it is still in its embryonic stage. Passionate about photography, in the summer she works as a photographer for a series of events at the Fondazione De Gasperi and Giardino D’Europa in Castello Tesino, Trento.
Years ago I wrote a lot, it was a need, to express what weighed heavily on my heart. Today I have found my dimension but I find it much harder to find the words to talk about myself and I hardly write anymore. What do you think?
I believe that creativity somehow stems from torment. Among the various things I do, I am a very poor painter, I do it in my spare time, but I feel that I can do something good, something that satisfies me, when I'm angry. And I am often angry. If my creativity comes from anger, then I am very creative (she laughs!). For me, writing, like making a dress, or painting, starts from a need, which in turn arises from a strong feeling, and often, these feelings are negative like anger or anxiety. Because when you're well, you don't need to say it, but when you're not well, you need to communicate it. And there are many people who fortunately do it in ways other than violence or complaining, and they create something.
You have a blog in the works with a very strong and certainly different perspective on femininity from traditional canons. Give us a preview.
I have a particular writing style, often excessive, sometimes vulgar. It will talk about porn and feminism related to porn because I feel, as an idea, very close to feminist struggles. I believe that what is most scandalous in gender difference, that is, themes related to autoeroticism, porn, the knowledge of the female body, which in some way, is still thought to belong to men, is rarely addressed. Autoeroticism, for example, is still an exclusively male domain. Writing is a way for me to stay close to the world of communication by speaking freely, through a platform, about topics such as prevention, and things that can do good.
If I asked you what comes to mind when I say LIGHT?
I think of the love I received from my family, this great privilege that I discovered is not at all a given. It ignited a light within me. We live in a dark world, not only because of what manifests as violence and wars, those are consequences. There is something that comes before, like the hatred and resentment that people feel towards each other. I believe that love and kindness towards others are the only light that can illuminate the future of this historical moment. I'm not talking about cinematic love, but kind gestures and words, like giving a compliment or showing interest and expressing it with simple questions that brighten the days.

What is your LIGHT?
My family, my sister, the love of my partner, who turned my life upside down. Claudio is a person who shines, he can't see evil in people and doesn't know resentment. He has an astonishingly pure soul. He changed my way of seeing the world a bit and even though I always maintain a very pronounced dark side, he helped me take things more lightly.
What's in your bag?
Everything. Receipts, water bottles, empty cigarette packs.
