When first arrived in Chicago, I had some difficul

When first arrived in Chicago, I had some difficult moments.

My work permit was late, I didn't know anyone in this country and I felt really alone, full of shame and inadequacy. If you cannot work, you are invisible on a social level: making friends is difficult and explaining why you are in such a situation.. even more.
I tried to motivate myself as much as possible but loneliness is really a tough beast.

A few months ago, @eleonora_frida_mino called me:

"I was struggling to find your replacement as a live painter for the show and then I thought ... I already have everything I need! I already have Giulia Salza!"
(Words I will always remember).

"And how can I collaborate on your show as a live painter if I'm in Chicago?"
"I had a very simple idea - she replies enthusiastically - you will be a video-live-painter!"
"And what is it ?"
"I don't know. Let's make it up together!"

There you go: Eleonora always calls me and asks me to do things that I think are impossible.
She is always convinced that I can do it, I have infinite doubts but I accept the challenge.
Each time it's like stepping into one of her creative whirlpools! I have to practise, I have to study new stuff and I have to make endless attempts to realize our combined ideas. But every time she is right: exciting outcomes come out from this collaboration!

So, in this show "The courage of Emanuela" I will be on stage as a visual and video artist.
Incredibly, I will paint on stage, on the big screen, I will bring bubbles, trees, ideas and characters to life.

I would like to be in Turin on June 11, the debut day! Most of all, would love to hug my friend, hold her tight.

I fully realize that collaborating with others is a true blessing and that friendship is the most important thing in life.

The Grand Opening of the new art studio I share with @mike_mikottis_artworks was.....amazing!
Many people came to visit our cozy space and we had the opportunity to exhibit our work!

The best moment, though, was when I realized I was not alone in this adventure but surrounded by my wonderful husband and my friends who believe in me and root for me no matter what!
I felt so supported and fulfilled with love and friendship ❤️

After two years spent almost in isolation and faraway from my family and my home country, I deeply realized that true friends and meaningful relationships are a total blessing and there's nothing more important in life.

Thanks to everyone who showed up and celebrated this special moments with us!!!
