Chiara Ferragni is one of the most important world influencers, whose rise has been studied in famous universities such as Harvard. Over the course of her career she has constantly transformed, going from a “simple” influencer to a digital entrepreneur, taking back management control of her own companies, to the point of becoming a spokesperson for social battles. In a year in which the whole world was forced to shut up at home and to deal with a planetary pain, Chiara Ferragni together with her husband Fedez have, in fact, chosen to use their notoriety in favor of civil commitment: from musical appointments on the terrace of the first lockdown, to the campaigns for the use of the mask, up to the contribution and launch of the fundraiser that allowed the creation of a new intensive therapy at the San Raffaele, an initiative for which they received the Ambrogino d’oro, highest honor of Milan. Again, she promoted the Italian territory and tourism and entered the terrain of (failed) female conquests with the speech on “Being a woman in 2020” in which she recounted the pitfalls that still make us “a very masculine and patriarchal society, in which women are judged differently from men but also by women ». The last battle took place in recent weeks against the slowness of the Lombardy Region in administering vaccines, first publishing cards and data relating to the Lombards who must be vaccinated and then coming to address Prime Minister Mario Draghi after Fedez’s grandmother had been called for the vaccine following the posts of Ferragni herself.
