Antonella Caraceni: " Do not be afraid! Never!"

BPP: Who are you?  And who you really are?

Antonella Caraceni:  Who am I? Easy question, difficult answer. My name is Antonella and I am an artist, a painter, a costume designer, a daughter, a mother, a lover, a cook, a dressmaker, a knitter and many more…

Who am I really? A strong person hidden inside a fragile one…or vice versa.

BPP: How is life currently for the people in your country and what would you wish for them and for the planet at large?

Antonella Caraceni:These are difficult times for Italy, Europe and the whole World. I think something will change. I think that the current economic model won’t work for a long time. It will be painful, there will be really hard times, but I think we can get into a new era. Being afraid is harmful. Necessary to imagine a new system. Creativity will save us.
