She comes
from Brescia and she lives in Desio (Milan).
Writer, she
is very sensitive to social problems and she attaches a great importance to
good examples.
Even if her
actions are necessarily limited, she tries to be faithful to the motto she
coined herself and which represents the basis of her modus vivendi: "If I do not do harm, one bad action will not
be done in the world." Besides the motto, Chiappani Loda believes in her
own imperative: "Let us give to our neighbours as much as possible and ask
humbly". (From an interview of 1982).
Her life
has been complicated and difficult, yet full of important experiences she conveys
to her works.
She had
been contributing for thirty years to the ecological magazine Pro Natura.
She had been a member of a literary prize jury and had participated in radio
and television broadcasts. Her poems have been read during numerous public shows;
famous writers and critics have presented both her published and her
unpublished works.
She has
been the recipient of several Italian literary prizes.
Her
published works include: a novel, three story collections for children (one of
which in collaboration with Alexandre Rodichevski) and two for the grown-ups, a
book of memories, a collection of articles about nature, a collection of
interviews, a book of plays, a collection of poetry, a CD of music and poetry
as well as stories, poems and articles in numerous anthologies, magazines and
web sites.
