Through nineteen concise yet meaningful chapters—almost a modern decalogue of virtues such as Commitment, Trust, Solidarity, Understanding, Humanity, Courage, Awareness, Happiness and more — Moratti retraces her journey from her childhood years to an extraordinary ascent through increasingly prestigious responsibilities and increasingly generous initiatives. Her career speaks for itself. She was the first woman to chair RAI, Italy's public broadcaster; Minister of Education, Universities and Research; the first female Mayor of Milan, securing the city's successful bid for Expo 2015; Extraordinary Commissioner for the Universal Exposition; Vice President and Welfare Councillor of the Lombardy Region; President of UBI Banca; head of major international media and financial organizations; co-founder of San Patrignano, one of Europe's most important rehabilitation communities; founder of humanitarian and educational foundations active from Africa to the world of contemporary art.
And throughout it all, she remained a devoted wife, an exemplary mother and a loyal friend.       
During the years we worked together for the city, I became a bridge between her administration and the worlds of creativity, art, fashion, design, theatre, young talent, street art and women's initiatives. I proposed projects, coordinated discussions with councillors, suggested exhibitions, meetings and cultural programs, introducing her to the eclectic universe that had revolved around Superstudio since its first appearance in Via Forcella in 1983 and later in Via Tortona from 2000 onward.        
She always listened. More importantly, she always got straight to the point.                                   
Whether it was winning Expo Milano 2015, helping a young person overcome addiction at San Patrignano, or considering one of my more unconventional ideas: transforming the former Ansaldo industrial complex into a multidisciplinary creative centre (today known as BASE Milano); creating the MilanoDonna Award, pairing inspiring women over seventy with promising women under thirty-five; launching Il Piatto del Cuore, a charity project involving celebrated designers in support of impoverished elderly people; legitimising urban art by distinguishing true street artists from vandals; bringing Maurice Béjart's ballet to La Scala in memory of Gianni Versace; organising the exhibition dedicated to Mila Schön at Palazzo Reale shortly before her death; or directing Milan's unforgettable Cow Parade, when one hundred artist-decorated resin cows joyfully invaded the city's streets after successful editions in Paris, New York and other world capitals.
Without fully realising it, I was leaving my own mark on Milan. Thanks to Letizia's intuition, courage and determination, many ideas that might have remained dreams became reality. She knew how to overcome obstacles. Almost all of them. Her book addresses themes that are both universal and deeply personal. Yet what I cannot forget is the privilege of having worked alongside a mentor who taught me to look beyond the obvious, to believe that ambitious visions can become concrete achievements, and, above all, never to stop dreaming.
