(English translation below):

Translation
I am Valentina. I am 24 years old and I have just completed a performance with my company in this beautiful act in the plaza of Villa Grimaldi. My story at this moment with the March relates directly to the form of this March. To me it is important to achieve peace and nonviolence in a way that is, precisely, nonviolent. I believe we are living a moment of big changes and I believe that, at least for me, a doorway of hope is opening, so to speak, where love is what matters the most. The fact that the March is done like this, through so many places, and that more and more people go on joining it, to say from one's own peace that we do not want more violence, and that we will do everything necessary for that to be realized and become true. At this moment I am trying to be in peace, in harmony, and to live each act with much awareness. And I believe this is taking place as a kind of 'plague of peace,' that each time more and more people join, and that is very beautiful. So I feel that the way in which this [March] has unfolded is the way in which man should behave in a new era, under love, and protest in this way because becoming violent oneself means doing the same other do, and we don't want that any more. So I am very happy to be here and see so many people meet with a common purpose, uniting themselves. That's it.
