She is a writer, activist, and entrepreneur. The author of 18 books, including the global bestseller "Storie della Buonanotte per Bambine Ribelli" (10 million copies sold, 50 languages), her work today explores the crisis of male identity through the project Maschi del Futuro.

The MUSE, opened in 2013 and designed by the architect Renzo Piano, is located in the new Albere district of Trento. One of the most frequented science museums in Europe, it combines the traditional exhibition techniques of the best natural history museums with interactive and multimedia routes, which stimulate the curiosity of visitors.
The building, with its profiles, large spaces and bright and light architecture, aims to be in itself a metaphor for the mountain, and proposes the visit of different natural environments, including a large tropical greenhouse.
