PRINCESS

Let’s talk about charm, so origins, are you also writing a book, is it an autobiographical book?

Exactly, it is a book that speaks of three generations, I say this also because it is not something that I am ashamed of. My grandmother was, because she unfortunately she died in two thousand, the twin sister of the last Shah of Persia. She was perhaps a very powerful woman until the years of the revolution in 79, when there was a dynasty in Iran, the country was a Western country and women like my grandmother fought a lot for education, to remove the chad, what women are wearing now, at the time was not there, there was no need, she abolished it, obviously in agreement with her brother.

So I really grew up like a fairy tale. My mother tried so much to keep me away from that environment, because she had grown up there and therefore she did everything to make me grow in Italy, an Italian culture, Italian schools. I grew up to all intents and purposes as a very normal girl from my environment.

However, I have always felt different from my classmates, although I had a type of life, I knew who my grandmother was, despite the fact that she met her then when I was 14 for a story that I tell in the book.

So what I am writing now is a story so powerful and so beautiful that I want to tell it, obviously I am not going to affect anyone on a political or religious level, because obviously this is not my purpose but only to tell. the private story of a woman. I know there are millions of books about my grandmother but my very intimate point of view together with my mother, colleague, such a powerful character, is such a unique point of view to tell that I really want to share it and so this I am doing now. at the end of May I will go to Cannes and I hope to find funding I want to make a television series from it, a bit in the style of the English royal family
