She participated, speaking of war reporting, in various events organized by University of Turin, UNICEF, the Italian Federation of Photographers, Italian Association Victims of Terrorism, RAN Berlin, Museum of the Resistance in Turin, RAI TV and many local networks.
In the last four years she has closely followed the Syrian war going on site several times because, as the great master Kapuściński said:
“I can not tell how people die at war by sitting in a hotel, far from the battle. How do I know how people feel in a siege, or how is the battle, or which weapons have the soldiers, what clothes they wear, what do they eat and what do they feel? You have to understand the dignity of others, accept them and share their difficulties. Risking life is not enough. The essential is the respect for the people you write about. “
