The book of a father who chose not to remain silent.
A powerful appeal to families, schools and institutions.
It will be in bookstores on March 5th Dear Giulia.
What I learned from my daughter', written by Gino Cecchetin with the writer Marco Franzoso, published by Rizzoli.
Since the day of his daughter Giulia's funeral, Gino Cecchettin has chosen to share his pain by trying to face it and make it constructive so that it can be of help to the young people of our country.
In this book, through the story of Giulia, stabbed to death by her ex-boyfriend Filippo Turetta on 11 November 2023, she questions the deep roots of the patriarchal culture of our society.
"In these days you have become a public symbol" writes Cecchettin to his daughter Giulia and to those who want to listen to his painful words of commitment, awareness and courage.
"You are my Giulia and you will always be my Giulia. But you are no longer just that. After what happened, you are also everyone's Giulia, the one who is talking to everyone. And I feel a strong duty to show the world what a person you were and Above all, to try through this to make other people ask themselves the same questions as me" states Giulia's father.
"In our country, common reflection around the tragic theme of gender violence is becoming more and more urgent, in order to fully rethink ourselves as a civil society. For this reason, Rizzoli, which has made it its DNA to give voice to the authors who have stimulated or enriched the public debate on major issues of the present, is very grateful - and I am also personally grateful as a citizen - to Gino Cecchettin for having intervened on the topic of gender violence with a lucid and precious reflection, the key to a necessary change" says Federica Magro, editorial director of Rizzoli.
