- 23. Readers response I vote Lorella Zanardo because she is doing a fantastic job to educate Italian adolescents to watch tv in a discerning way, which is something missing completely in Italian schools. She is now an "Internet star" and travels the world with her documentary, Il corpo delle donne, about the mis-representation and stereotypes of women's bodies on the Italian tv. If you haven't done it yet please watch it. In a country dominated by Berlusconi's media and vision Lorella, a woman like us but with a big vision, is making a difference. Her educational project is almost totally self financed.
