I met Antonella one of the first nights I came to Milan in a cultural place/bar Arci Ohibo'. After talking for a while, we discovered we discovered that we're actually living in the same building! Antonella has such a pleasant and positive energy that really shines throug her. She's a graphic designer, photographer and artist, and beside all that she's one of the partners of Ohibo'. She told me that when she lost her job it was kind of chance to start following her heart, and now she puts all that passion into her work that she really likes. She's a proof that everyone should live their dream, because it really is possible.
When do you feel beautiful , complete?
Depends on the mood , and sometimes on weather. On a sunny day I feel beautiful inside and out, but when the days are sad, not so much .
What do you think of the media's influence on the common perception of beauty ?
The media tend to exaggerate the thinness and the perfect forms . Too much retouching with photoshop . Unfortunately, this affects the very young girls the most.
What is your philosophy ?
Travel broadens the mind.
How do you cope with the need of being "perfect" in these days?
Sometimes it fails to affect me. I do not mean about strict diets because I'm thin. But a lot of physical activity to stay in shape (although lately for work I can not afford to attend the gym as years ago). I don't think I'll ever be one of those women who will change with surgery something ( breasts, nose, etc ...) I like women who age naturally and that they carry the signs of life.
Your message to other women ?
Always be themselves , the largest beauty.
