la Repubblica
A degree in philosophy, she has been working for Marie Claire since
1989. In 2002 she became vice editor-in-chief of the magazine and in 2009 she joined Espresso Group
to head D. She’s an opinionist and takes part in forums and conferences about
women.
For some reason it happens sometimes: you enter a place and feel at home.
It’s all about a certain perspective, a light around, a special atmosphere, energy, ideas,
feelings and emotions.
This is true for magazines as well, and if you are reading these lines, you’re certainly
aware of what I am talking about.

D has always offered an editorial mix consistent with needs of an ever-changing woman.
14 years ago Fabien Baron and Joel Berg (formerly at Bazaar and Allure) created an elegant, avantgarde design for D that lasted for all this time, despite the continuous restylings of the competitors.
•This graphic layout and the excellent and innovative paper quality have made a trendsetter of D for one and a half decade.
•Mat paper and inks have become a distinctive sign and have been copied by dozens of other titles.
In 2010 D evolved further and it is now closer to the reader thanks to a more communicative mood.
D’s current visual project is once again signed by Joel Berg: a contemporary interpretation of elegance and style, where the cover becomes a portrait.
la Repubblica
In 2010 some new journalists from Repubblica joined as well as others from different milieus, thus bringing along a new perspective, a different cultural background, a new taste for irony.
D gets richer in stimuli and tones.
Elasti (the nickname of very rigorous Reuter’s journalist) has a secret life as blogger (www.nonsolomamma.com) and signs a column in D: Appunti & divagazioni di una (non solo) mamma
Giampaolo Visetti (Repubblica reporter in China) writes Piccole storie cinesi
Giacomo Papi deals with what is absolutely out of fashion in Cose che non vanno più di moda
Guia Soncini: in her column Affacciati alla finestra, amore mio takes inspiration from a song to talk about men and women

New pages have enriched the early section of D in 2010:
D asks questions: D opens with 13 witty, bizarre questions with no answer. And this, before the first editorial page of the magazine.
D asks questions to: some questions on various subjects asked to politicians, actors, celebrities, fashion designers…
Cultural striptease: interviews to celebrities about their cultural habits
D in the body: celebrities talk about the relation with their body
la Repubblica
From the very beginning D has broken the rules of the classic women magazine format: it has always been rather a newsmagazine for women, hosting the best signatures of Repubblica and appealing to men as well, why not?
It invented a new way of treating and balancing the varied aspects of life, the cheerful and the unpleasant ones, the frivolous and the serious ones, personal and social issues, fashion and news.
A lot of space has always been devoted to news from the world: a very open-minded, international perspective, a lively interest in science and technology, a special taste for art and culture. It addresses readers who are eager to build their own opinions and to be informed about everything that goes beyond the usual themes of women magazines.
Each main theme is developed from different angles: interviews, tales, opinions, dossiers.
More impact is now given to photographic reportages: more care in titles and captions to involve the readers more deeply.
la Repubblica
D has always been very innovative in the way it treated fashion: it has reinvented style, finding new paths, unveiling secrets, surprising the readers... with an avantgarde, highly cultivated vision.
D does not mean to teach how one should dress or what one should buy and mix: its purpose is to evoke atmospheres, to suggest a certain taste, to convey impressions.
The fashion section remains the “heart” of the magazine.
Every now and then this section hosts shootings featuring celebrities and ordinary people, in a sophisticated game where fashion and real life intermingle.
la Repubblica
The way D deals with beauty is inspired by the idea of “beauty culture”: interest for wellness, attention to research and innovation in cosmetics. D’s approach is very different from the orientation of most magazines that tend to provide the readers with practical suggestions only.
Photography really matters in the beauty section of the D: evocative images and sophisticated still- life pictures replace the common images of packagings and bottles.
la Repubblica
The wellness section has become a regular section
The section is composed of one main theme and several columns (psychology,
news, pros and cons, practical suggestions,…).
D’s approach to home decoration is mainly aesthetic: luxury, but also eccentric or bizarre settings and flats equipped with the latest technology.
The interest of the magazine for this theme is proved by the creation in 1997 of a bimonthly entirely devoted to this subject: D Casa.
The new D has broadened the perspective: cosier atmospheres and more “everyday” homes are now more frequently portrayed.
la Repubblica
The new Food section gives more room to classic and traditional cooking.
Marilena Malinverni selects a dish, explains why she has chosen it and describes the recipe.
Every week this section hosts also a column devoted to restaurants and chefs with reviews and comments.
Every now and then D’s cooking section finds inspiration from books or other countries’ cooking style.
Food shooting is also refined and accurate.
