Fabiana Vanzetti

This is Fabiana Vanzetti, she was the only girl in her class who graduated high school, in Bologna, a virgin. Due to her violent temper and radical political opinions, her yearbook entry lists her as "most likely to die young, go to jail or a combination of both". After graduating University with a Masters in Literature, she went to Kabul for research from which resulted in a novel about a young orphan girl who is savagely beaten and raped by five neighborhood boys. She survives the violence to invent a soft drink made from acacia flowers which makes her a millionaire and uses her newfound wealth to hire an assassin to track down and kill her tormentors. The book won the Davanzati "Novel of the Year" at the Milan International Bookfair and, because Fabiana's wardrobe consisted only of a couple of jeans and a dozen t-shirts, the organizers rented her an evening gown. It was light-blue, ill-fitting and somebody spilled red wine on it at the "After Gala" party; they had to throw it away. Fabiana is still a virgin to this day, at 42 and a half.
