For BigMama, Hundred Eyes was liberating. He hopes that others can get some from it too benefit from this “manual“.”I really hope it can be of profound help in your difficult and uncertain moments”, he always admitted Instagram. “The important thing is to always get up, grow by believing in yourself, change opinions, improve yourself and forgive. This ‘manual’ teaches it”, he concluded.

Here is the presentation of Hundred Eyes:

“My physique made people consider me not enough before they even got to know me’: this is one of the lessons that Marianna, aka BigMama, had to learn the hard way. Forced since she was a child to face the judgments of the people in the town in the province of Avellino where she grew up, the target of the malice of her peers and the indifference of adults, she soon had to deal with episodes of ferocious bullying, physical violence and psychological. Marianna defends herself as best she can, building an armor of self-irony and anger that allows her to keep intact the most precious things she possesses: an indestructible character, the romantic faith in her dreams and in her talent. So she, clinging to that strange voice of hers that reminds her to trust herself, at the age of eighteen she moves to Milan, and everything changes. People in the metropolis are too busy to notice her physique, but not to recognize her fabric. Today Marianna is a talented artist, a woman who wants to be the example that she didn’t have, so that no one should ever be ashamed of what she is. With this explosive autobiographical story BigMama’s voice intersects her personal story with the issues at the center of today’s debate. From the sense of inadequacy to the desire for revenge, from illness to self-acceptance. A book that, through her individual experience, brings us a story of universal feelings, which questions us and encourages us to reshape a world that is truly within everyone’s reach.”.
