Dutch multimedia journalist based in Rome, Italy, since 2001. Graduated from the School of Journalism in Zwolle (The Netherlands) in 1995, I've worked for 5 years for the national public radio in The Netherlands before I moved to Rome. Ever since I'm in Rome I made radio reports (from 3 minute features to 90 minute documentaries), always for Dutch public radio. I always recorded and edited my own stuff. in 2003 I started working for television as well and in 2007 I bought a camera to do my own filming as well. And with the filming came the editing. So now I do all my stuff on my own.

Surrogacy ban in Italy: 'War criminals'
Italy has enacted a law banning surrogacy, celebrated by right-wing factions as a victory against the commercialization of life. The law is criticized for its ideological stance against LGBTQ+ parenting, as it disproportionately affects same-sex couples. The ultra-Catholic organization Pro Vita e Famiglia supports the ban, viewing it as a blow to the international surrogacy market. Critics argue the law is difficult to enforce and infringes on civil rights, with legal experts questioning its practicality. The law's impact on Italian couples seeking surrogacy abroad remains uncertain, as countries where surrogacy is legal may not cooperate with Italy's criminalization efforts.
Famous tower in Bologna 'creaks and groans' and threatens to collapse
The Garisenda Tower in Bologna, over nine hundred years old and standing at 48 meters, is showing signs of distress, with unusual movements detected by sensors. Traffic around the monument has been halted to assess the tower's condition, which leans 4 degrees off plumb. Experts, including Professor Pier Luigi Cervellati of Italia Nostra, suggest making the area car-free to prevent further damage. The city has engaged an engineering firm to stabilize the tower temporarily, the same firm that salvaged the Costa Concordia and was involved in rebuilding the collapsed bridge in Genoa. A technical committee has also been formed for the tower's restoration.
Silvio Berlusconi: from homework seller to media magnate and politician who deeply divided Italy
Silvio Berlusconi's career, spanning from a homework seller to a media magnate and a deeply divisive politician, is marked by significant achievements and numerous scandals. Rising to prominence in the 1990s, he capitalized on the political vacuum left by the 'Mani Pulite' scandal, presenting himself as a businessman capable of rescuing Italy from corruption. His media empire, including Mediaset and AC Milan, flourished, but his tenure was marred by allegations of mafia connections, legal battles, and personal scandals. Despite his polarizing impact, Berlusconi's influence on Italian politics and media remains profound, with his legacy characterized more by theatricality than substantial political reforms.
Heirs of Berlusconi intervene: twenty 'bunga bunga' women evicted from their homes
The Berlusconi family has decided to stop financial support and evict approximately twenty women who were previously funded by the late ex-premier Silvio Berlusconi. These women, known as 'Olgettine', were part of the infamous 'bunga bunga' parties. The family believes the women have benefited enough from Berlusconi's generosity. One of the women, Barbara Guerra, plans to legally challenge the decision, citing a promise made by Berlusconi. The heirs aim to distance themselves from the more embarrassing aspects of Berlusconi's life.

Northern Italian province plans to shoot 24 bears in the coming years to 'protect the population'
The provincial government of Trentino in Northern Italy plans to cull up to 24 bears over the next three years to protect the local population from the growing bear population. The proposal, approved by the provincial parliament, aims to ensure public safety and protect livestock. The plan has faced opposition from animal welfare organizations, which argue that it is unconstitutional and that the province has not taken adequate measures to protect both humans and animals. The controversy follows a fatal bear attack on a local resident, Andrea Papi, and ongoing conflicts between bears and humans in the region.
Secret Coal Cellar Hid Michelangelo's Sketches for Centuries: 'This is Impressive'
A secret coal cellar under the Sagrestia Nuova chapel in Florence, used by Michelangelo Buonarroti as a workspace for three months in 1530, was discovered in 1975. The cellar contains well-preserved charcoal sketches attributed to Michelangelo, including figures reminiscent of his later works in the Sistine Chapel. The discovery was made during a search for a new emergency exit for the Museum of the Cappelle Medicee. The sketches are believed to have been created while Michelangelo was hiding from a death sentence issued by Pope Clemens VII. The cellar, now open to the public by appointment until March 2024, has already seen all available visits booked for the next three months.
Pope opens doors for LGBTQ community: 'The Catholic Church is not a customs office'
Pope Francis has issued a document opening the Catholic Church to the LGBTQ community, allowing children of same-sex couples to be baptized and transgender individuals to become godparents or witnesses at church weddings. The Vatican's Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith supports these changes, stating there are no canonical reasons to deny these rights. The decision has faced criticism from the conservative wing, particularly in the United States, leading to the dismissal of Bishop Joseph Strickland of Tyler, Texas, for his opposition to the Pope's progressive policies.
