CRISTIANA ZAMPARO
Poetry serves to nourish that grain of madness we all have inside and without which it is unwise to live
(Federico Garcia Lorca)
MY STORY
With deep and proud Friulian roots, I moved to Milan at the age of eighteen to graduate in Philosophy with a specialisation in Social Communication.
​
After graduation, I have been involved in qualitative market research for many years.
At the same time, indulging one of my great passions, I began a long research work in the theatrical field by participating in numerous seminars on both techniques and theatrical anthropology.
​
In 2010 I graduated in Family Constellations and Communication at the Centro Studi Piazza, starting to combine my theatrical path with that of awareness.
In 2012 I become a Systemic Counselor with a thesis entitled "Being in the theater".
​
In recent years, I have been one of the promoters and organisers of the Milan Literature Festival and the Milan International Poetry Festival, true symbols of «independent» culture which since 2012 have proposed around 900 events to the city.
PROFESSIONAL IDENTITY
I have done many things in my professional career, mainly related to writing, teaching and organisation;
Below is an overview of my main achievements and current areas of expertise.
WRITING
Author, editor and copywriter
From an early age, one thing has always succeeded easily.
To write.
For work I have always written, whether they were back covers, prefaces, press releases, reports for market researches,
newspaper articles or product concepts.
EDUCATION AND
TEACHING
Philosophy and Literature
Counselor and graduate in History and Philosophy at the Catholic University of Milan, for some years I have decided to start teaching, to accompany some of my teenage clients to motivate them to study and, at the same time, to find their center. Since then, the love for the subjects I teach has re-emerged in an almost pungent way.
CULTURAL
EVENTS
Organisation and Press Office
From 2011 to 2019 I coordinated
and organised cultural events
related to Literature and Poetry
in Milan and other cities with the MilanoFetivaLetteratura Association
of which I am outgoing President.
It was an extremely formative
experience, a real challenge.
COUNSELING
Systemic Relational Therapy
Attracted by the search for greater understanding of the human soul and the desire to transform this understanding into support for people in difficulty, in 2010 I obtained a Master in Communication and I took a Diploma in Family Constellations at the Centro Studi Piazza.
MARKET
RESEARCH
Qualitative researcher
Qualitative freelance researcher
from more than twenty years, I have enriched my work experience by transferring skills acquired in the activity of systemic relational counselor but also in an apparently very distant sphere
such as the cultural one.
Me, like you,
I love love, life, the sweet enchantment
of things, the celestial
landscape of January days.
​
My blood also boils
and I laugh through the eyes
that have known the rush of tears.
​
I believe the world is beautiful,
that poetry is, like bread, for everyone.
​
And that my veins end within me
but in the unanimous blood
of those who struggle for life,
love,
things,
the view and the bread,
poetry for everyone.
Roque Dalton
