“Intolerance, drugs, sex, and violence in an Italy no one has ever talked about enough. The search for love despite everything, beyond fear, beyond prejudice.” With this powerful line, Eva Carieri introduces readers to her autobiographical novel Eva. Il prezzo dell’ambizione, a deeply personal and unflinching exploration of what it means to be a transgender woman in a society that still struggles to accept difference.
Born in Palermo in 1980 and now living in Bologna, Eva Carieri is more than an author, she is a multifaceted artist: actress, presenter, and fashion icon. She began her career as a transgender model, breaking boundaries in the world of fashion and media. In 2016, she posed for Globus magazine in Croatia, an act that was seen as a groundbreaking moment for transgender visibility in mainstream European media. Alongside her modeling and acting work, she has written for international blogs on medicine and surgery, a field she has long been passionate about. Today, she also hosts a Fashion Web TV and regularly appears at artistic events.
