Struggles of a Working Mom (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Fashion weeks are my peak guilt moments, when being a mother and being an entrepreneur seem irreconcilable. With the exception of the occasional business trip, my job allows me to mostly control my schedule, but fashion weeks happen and suck up my whole day and life: as I drive back to Varese at 10pm, after leaving dinner with the prime minister before dessert, I think that my kids are already fast asleep and I haven’t seen them all day long: I feel like the worst mother on earth.<a class="image

Mens sana in corpore sano — and vice versa (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I’ve always wanted to have three children. Growing up, during my constant daydreaming, I’d picture a family of five: two boys and a girl; the two boys came easily, Otto one year after our marriage and Augusto 20 months after that. I discovered unconditional love and they filled my life (with joy, as well as several other feelings and duties), but I still wanted a third.<a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!N-Sy!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressi
