BEATRICE DALIA
Autrice / conduttrice.
A professional journalist, first at Rai and later at Il Sole 24 Ore, she subsequently donned the robe as a licensed lawyer and judge-arbitrator on Forum, a highly successful Mediaset program. She is also a criminal and family mediator, and as an expert on family relations, she was part of the cast of Nei tuoi panni on Rai 2. Today, she is a school mediator, and under the motto 'Tell me how you argue, and I’ll tell you who you are,' she trains both young and old in effective communication and active listening. As a very young child, she never smiled, but then she discovered the joy of giving and receiving smiles (and hers is truly enchanting). Most importantly, she is never tired of discovering new things.
