Michela Marzano

Maria Michela Marzano (born 20 August 1970) is an Italian researcher, philosopher and writer.

In 1998, she defended her thesis at the Scuola Normale Superiore on the status of the human body, which led her to follow continuing discourse on the topic.

Marzano traveled to France in 1999 and enrolled at the French National Center for Scientific Research in 2000.

In her book, Légère comme un papillon (Light Like a Butterfly), Marzano revealed the role that anorexia had played in her life.

In 2016, Marzano left the Democratic Party when the government proposal on civil unions did not provide the possibility for same-sex couples to adopt children.
