Activism edit
In 2017 Alonzi worked with the city police of Rome, Italy on an campaign against romantic partner violence, creating a video map of police stations and their distance from each of the city's subway stations.[6] She also developed digital dance pieces surrounding the hashtag #JustLeave, intended to support and highlight the plight of women in abusive relationships.[7] In addition, she has integrated her advocacy for ending mental health stigma into her artistic work and writing.[8] She has also provided TEDx talks in Cortina.[9]
Writing edit
Alonzi authored the book Il Libricino della Felicità in 2019,[10] which became a best-seller in Italy after initial self-publication.[11] She later wrote Non voglio più piacere a tutti - Trova il coraggio di amare chi sei e vivere la vita che vuoi (I don't want to please everyone anymore – Find the courage to love who you are and live the life you want) in 2021 on the publisher Vallardi.[12] In 2023 she then published her first novel: Noi, parola di tre lettere (A word of three letters) on the publisher Salani,[13] which has been described as a work that traces a generation that "rejects labels".[14] Later that year her book Tu non sei i tuoi genitori: Libera il tuo cuore dalle scelte di chi ti ha rovinato la vita, anche se non voleva (You are not your parents: Free Your Heart from the Choices of Those Who Ruined Your Life, Even if They Didn’t Mean To) was published by Sperling & Kupfer.[15] She has also published articles in magazines including Grazia.[16]
