is a gorgeous Italian woman, lives in Cremona, proud mom of three daughters and a writer. Has the ability to tell wonderful stories and illustrate them with stunning photos. We get to know her through her travel blog written in Italian and English, in which she presents us with breathtaking images! No doubts that the trips are one of her greatest passions, like fashion โ she worked in the showroom of Blumarine for 12 years โ and sure enough this passion influenced their girls. Mostly Chiara โฆ and yes, if you are thinking of the author of The Blond Salad, youโre thinking well! Marina is the mother of the beautiful Chiara dispensing presentations. I did not want to touch it, but it is impossible not to do it! It is clichรฉ. In fact, we discovered her blog, since Chiara introduced it to the world, and never fail to follow afterwards.
Currently we are so curious about your books! If you do not know, Marina is considered an revelation author, and recently launched a new thriller novel โ Bambole Gemelle โ published by Feltrinelli. You can find their novel in the Feltrinelli Zoom Filtri site โ here.
And now, here, and in exclusive for you, we reveal some things, so we can all know a little bit more of this amazing woman!
Now, I always write during the day. Before, I preferred writing during the night, but actually I think Iโm more concentrated in the morning and in the afternoon.

Abstract
In 2014, Chiara Ferragni, a globe-trotting founder of the world’s most popular fashion blog “The Blonde Salad,” had to decide how to best monetize her blog as well as her shoe line called the “Chiara Ferragni Collection.” A year earlier, Ferragni, together with her team, had already made a decision to transform her blog into an online lifestyle magazine and to build its positioning as a high-end brand. It meant that “The Blonde Salad” envisaged to only cooperate with a limited number of luxury fashion advertisers, inevitably reducing the blog’s revenues. Ferragni considered changing the revenue-generating model by incorporating an online market place within “The Blonde Salad,” but which strategy and timeline would she need to achieve her aim? Should Ferragni’s shoe line, a separate company with a different ownership structure, be merged with “The Blonde Salad” or was it desirable to keep the two apart?
