Vladimir Luxuria, artist and former parliamentarian, boasts two primacies.
First transgender of the Italian Parliament, she is also the first politician of the television reality show “L’isola dei Famosi” (The isle of famous people).
From the “Transatlantico”, the hall for the intervals of parliamentarians, to the little island of Honduras, the set of the reality show of Rai Due channel, it seems to be there, and actually there is, an ocean.
But if to cross it there is Vladimir Luxuria, who can swim by little but has already the wind in her sails, any distance disappears.
Actress and drag queen, Vladimir Luxuria, whose real name is Vladimiro Guadagno, has begun her theatrical career at the “Taverna del Gufo”, in Foggia, where she was born.
In Rome, she has a degree in languages, with a first, has played for cinema, and has performed at the “Muccassassina”, the historic gay night-club for which she has also been artistic director. (more…)

The Doppia Difesa Foundation O.N.L.U.S. has for founders Michelle Hunziker and Giulia Bongiorno and it was founded in 2007 with a mission to provide support to women and children victims of violence, discrimination and abuse at home or at work.

There is always a first time and, in this case more than ever, we would like to add fortunately. In fact, if there are choices that let us hope for well, Emma Marcegaglia first woman president of Confindustria has what it takes to be one of them.
Born in Mantua in 1965, the entrepreneur is accustomed to primacies with the association of Italian industrialists: in 1996, thirty, she was the first woman to set foot in the head office of Astronomy street. She entered with a role of responsibility, as president of young industrialists, and in the years she has held the most prestigious positions at European level. In recognition of her dazzling career, and of the esteem and trust that she has been able to conquer, she is now designated as head of Confindustria. And here there are three primacies at once: sex, age, and the plebiscite of the highest percentage of votes ever reached (99.2%).
She said she is “very excited, happy, proud”. She considers her appointment as “a symbol for all women” and indicates in low female employment one of the problems of the development in Italy.
