Two years ago, your birthday gave me an excuse to break the promise I made to myself not to be with a man for a whole year… and you were so worth cheating. Thanks God for your birthday ❤️Thank God for the day you were born ❤️ we’ve been together ever since. A wish for easier years ahead of us. I love you ❤️

The making of a cover story

Today is National Cancer Survivors Day. I survived cancer. Whether I’m thriving is a different question. I’m no longer the woman I was before my illness, but I’ve also realized that what thriving means to me has changed completely. Maybe that’s why I’m still searching. Not for the old version of myself, but for the woman I’ve become because of everything I’ve lived through. And maybe thriving is not a destination. Maybe it’s learning to redefine what it means in every season of our lives.

Sometimes I miss when life felt like the early 2000s

Ciao 👋 If you’re new here, let me give you a quick recap of my story. I’m a 41-year-old woman from Italy, living my American dream in sunny California. I am the mother of Matilde (18) and Mia (10) — being their mom is what I am the most proud of. In the past 21 years, I built a modeling career beyond my wildest dreams. I’ve walked iconic runways. I’ve had the honor of gracing the covers of some of the most prestigious glossy magazines. I’ve been the face of amazing global campaigns. I’ve been part of some of the most exclusive and unforgettable events. In 2021, I learned I carry the BRCA1 genetic mutation and, to protect my health, I had a preventive double mastectomy at the end of 2022. I dreamed of having more children, so I froze my eggs — and hesitated to remove my ovaries. In September 2024, I was told I had stage 3 ovarian cancer and went through a major debulking surgery touching many organs. On October 14th, 2024, I started chemotherapy. I promised myself I’d never watch my hair fall out in chunks — so on Halloween night, I shaved my head. I wanted to feel normal again, so I planned photoshoots to remind the fashion industry that beauty doesn’t disappear with illness. Two weeks after my last chemo, I co-hosted the most acclaimed Italian TV show — the Sanremo Music Festival. Hundreds of women from around the world reached out — proving that sharing our stories helps others feel seen and courageous. One year later, here I am — with a new purpose: to use my work and image to give hope and strength to women who’ve walked the same difficult path.
