A profound and unrestrained dialogue on HIV that has conditioned much of the existence of Elena Di Cioccio, the TV presenter known for being one of the main faces of Le Iene. On Thursday, February 22 at 6:30 pm in the Padre Alagi Library, in Villa Bruno, her autobiographical book “Bad Blood” will be presented for the first time in Campania.
Miryam Gison and Paquito Catanzaro will be in dialogue with her, in a meeting where the actress will intimately and participatively recount her life: from toxic relationships to physical violence to substance abuse and then the discovery of HIV. Elena Di Cioccio, who is now a successful actress, radio speaker and TV presenter, with this book has intended to bring to light a terrible period of her life that she manages to overcome only when she realizes that it is necessary to free herself from the secret about her disease that has conditioned much of her existence.
«The presenter has chosen our city - Mayor Giorgio Zinno informs us - and we are proud to be able to welcome her personal testimony on a very delicate subject she has personally experienced: HIV. Addressing these issues means breaking down taboos, confronting, listening and sharing. This is the task of culture and through our Library - the pride of the Vesuvian territory - we carry forward this goal. Almost every week in fact – the mayor continues - there are meetings with authors and book presentations and tomorrow's is one of the big cultural events to which citizens are invited to listen to her testimony, strong and without reticence».
