MARIA ANTONIETTA ROSITANI

“WOMAN COURAGE” Award

An incredible strength. That is what Maria Antonietta Rositani said to have felt on the inside the day of her attempted murder. A strength that pushed her outside of her car, where his former husband had set a fire. A strength that made her blow the flames that were burning her clothes, her flesh and soul. But that strength felt in front of the danger was not a temporary flash. Yet a light that grew through time. A light that ended being a steady awareness after years of enduring, violence and lies. That of a love that does not offend, hurt, kill. And when nor the charges nor the trial verdict were enough to save her, that light released all of its intensity. Supporting her through her second suffering, composed of burns, complications and rehabilitation. Regarding her body and her heart. Just like a phoenix arising from its ashes, Maria Antonietta arose again. Woman, mother and living example of courage.
