Guia Soncini (born 19 October 1972) is an Italian columnist and writer. She writes for Linkiesta and, in the past, among others for la Repubblica, Gioia,[1][2] Elle Italia and Il Foglio.

Writing

Soncini is a writer of both fiction and non-fiction books. After publishing Elementi di capitalismo amoroso (Italian for Elements of loving capitalism) in 2008 through Rizzoli, she chose to self-publish her book Come salvarsi il girovita (Italian for How to save your waistline), in 2012 on Amazon Kindle, debuting in the Top Ten.[3]

Her book I mariti delle altre (Italian for Other women's husbands) chronicles both her experience with her father's infidelity from a personal perspective and the culture of adultery in Italy in general.[1][2]

Her first novel, Qualunque cosa significhi amore ("Whatever love means", the notorious Charles Windsor's quote about his marriage to Diana Spencer), was published on 27 May 2015.[4]
