Zaira Magliozzi's '15 minuti di Bellezza al giorno' Transforms Instagram Diary into Book

Zaira Magliozzi, an Italian author, has published '15 minuti di Bellezza al giorno' (Amazon, 2021), a diary-style book that evolved from her Instagram channel @15minofbeautyaday. The project began on January 20, 2019, when Magliozzi, at age 35, decided to dedicate fifteen minutes daily to seeking beauty in her everyday life, a practice she documented on Instagram. The book chronicles her year-long journey through Italy and abroad, including places like Gaeta, Formia, Rome, Selinunte, Milan, Florence, and Slovenia. Magliozzi's motivation stemmed from her mother's death, which prompted her to embrace life fearlessly. The work is considered one of the first experiments of a book born on social media and later reinvented in a classic literary form. The article, written by Antonia De Francesco for MIfacciodiCultura, highlights Magliozzi's courageous path and her self-imposed therapy of writing to close a circle. The book is available on Amazon and was published in 2021.
