I’m in love with Pippa Bacca. Ask me why!

Pippa Bacca’s name is indelibly tied to tragedy. She was murdered in Turkey in 2008, during her artistic performance Brides on Tour. In this deeply moving blend of reportage, interviews, and storytelling, Giulia Morello offers an intense and heartfelt account that revisits the story not only as a “case in the headlines” but—above all—restores dignity to the human and artistic journey of a young woman and her unshakable ideals. Niece of Piero Manzoni, Pippa believed—fiercely and uncompromisingly—in the inseparability of art and life, and saw human connection as their shared heartbeat. This is a book as rare and tender as an act of love—one that provokes questions and speaks directly to the soul.
