ENRICA MARIA GHIA – Women Who Are Changing the World

In the 1970s, in the United States, during a time of great social and feminist awakening, the International Women’s Forum was founded — an initiative aimed at giving a voice to women leaders and promoting gender equality across the political, economic, entrepreneurial, academic, and scientific spheres.

Enrica Maria Ghia, a lawyer based between Rome and Milan, leads the Italian chapter of the IWF and speaks about the models and visions of womanhood that have the power to change the world — a conviction shaped by a long-standing awareness.

CLAUDIO PARMIGGIANI – A journey into the art of absence

As soon as I crossed the threshold of the Estorick Collection of Modern Italian Art in London, on a clear June morning, I felt a silence that seemed to go beyond the usual museum hush. A dense silence, charged with invisible presences. Thus began my immersion into the poetic and unsettling universe of Claudio Parmiggiani, the focus of the first institutional exhibition in the United Kingdom.

ELIJAH KNIGHT – From army ranger to “Miss Fallaci”

Elijah Knight is a Swiss actor whose groundbreaking roles are capturing audiences worldwide. He starred in Miss Fallaci, making history as the first Swiss actor in an Italian Paramount+ series, and Unbreak My Heart, the largest co-production in Philippine cinema. Fans may also recognise him from Battles of the Fords of Isen, the Swiss homage to The Lord of the Rings.

VIETNAM - Discovering regional wonders

In my many trips around Asia, I never prioritised travelling to Vietnam. I was always searching for more ‘remote’ locations, and I admit that my very first impressions of Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi had not been that remarkable. Therefore, this time, I gave it a second chance. My 8-day trip to Vietnam, with my travel companions Nunzia and Kathia, was quite ambitious, as we travelled from North to Centre to South.

ENDLESS - From street art to fashion and the Venice Biennale

A London-based contemporary artist, Endless is not your usual street artist. Although he likes using spray paint cans on the streets of the UK capital city, his works can also be seen in galleries and private homes. Not to mention collaborations with famous artists Gilbert & George and luxury brands such as Karl Lagerfeld.

He talks with us about what inspires him, the role of art in society, and the reasons behind hiding his identity.

MARTIN PARR - Capturing life with humour and irony

In the realm of photography, few names carry the weight and influence of Martin Parr, whose captivating exhibition Short & Sweet at Museo delle Culture in Milan beckons viewers to embark on a journey through the intricacies of everyday life. In a conversation with the world-renowned photographer, we delved into the depths of his artistic vision.

ADAM DAVENPORT - Teaching artists how to deliver exceptional performances

What do award-winning artists like Halle Berry, Beyoncé, Brad Pitt, Sylvester Stallone, or Sharon Stone have in common? They all use the Chubbuck technique, renowned for its effectiveness in helping actors connect deeply with their characters and deliver exceptional performances. I spoke with American actor Adam Davenport, founder and artistic director of The International Acting Studio (TIAS), who will be conducting a workshop in Prague using this technique.

LEAF ARBUTHNOT - "Looking for Eliza"

Looking for Eliza is the original title, but we have a certain inclination for the Italian one - which translates Two Cups of Tea at Swinburne Road – because it conveys a more romantic, and "English", geolocation. We talk about it with the author, 31-year-old Leaf Arburhnot, assistant editor of The Week magazine and freelance journalist, whose reviews and articles have been published in magazines such as Vogue, The Sunday Times and The Spectator.
