class=\"font-377884\">\u2018Moral mistake\u2019 is an intense, sincere and poignant poem that delicately but unfiltered recounts the end of a love wounded by betrayal. The author, with simple but deeply emotional words, takes us on a journey into disappointment and awareness, where the heart speaks with a firm and mournful voice.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"font-377884\">The text is a subdued but powerful cry: it reminds us <strong>that other people&#8217;s feelings are not a game,<\/strong> and that love deserves respect, care and truth. Betraying those who have given you trust and sincere love is a deep guilt, a \u2018Moral mistake\u2019 that leaves indelible marks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"font-377884\">The poem is a universal reflection and teaches us that an apology is sometimes not enough to repair the damage, and that <strong>hurting those who love us can turn a precious bond into a bitter<\/strong> <strong>and distant memory.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"font-377884\">The ending, closes the text with a truth that is as simple as it is devastating: <strong>leaving a love is not a trifle,<\/strong> because the heart, once wounded, sinks into a pain that is difficult to fill.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"font-377884\">A poem that strikes and makes one reflect. Because love is not only sentiment: it is also responsibility.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"font-377884\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/swissfederalism.ch\/en\/cucchiaio-legno\/\">Il cucchiaio di legno &#8211; The wooden spoon<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"font-377884\">Some awards for her work<\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><span class=\"font-377884\">National Poetry Award\u00a0<em>\u201cArturo Massimi\u201d<\/em>\u00a0in October 1999 in Mentana \u2013 Rome.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"font-377884\">Plaque for the Narrative Award at the International Competition\u00a0<em>\u201cPelosa\u201d<\/em>\u00a0in Messina, November 2000.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"font-377884\">Poetry Plaque in October 2000 awarded by the Province of Rome.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"font-377884\">International Competition\u00a0<em>\u201cAntonio de Curtis\u201d<\/em>\u00a0in Rome.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"font-377884\">Poets and Society Award, Swiss German Delegation (international competition, honorable mention).<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"font-377884\">Unpublished Poetry Award, 5th Edition of the\u00a0<em>\u201cPremio\/l\u2019attualit\u00e0 \u2013 Bartolucci\u201d<\/em>, finalist diploma, October 27, 2001.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"font-377884\">International Artistic-Literary Competition,\u00a0<em>Antonio de Curtis \u201cTot\u00f2\u201d<\/em>, Rome, October 22, 2002.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"font-377884\">ALIAS (Academy of Italian-Australian Literature and Writers, in collaboration with C.R.A.S.E.S. in Palermo).<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"font-377884\">International Literary Competition, 3rd Prize ex aequo for Poetry, October 10, 2003.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"font-377884\">First Poetry Prize at the Gallery\u00a0<em>\u201cIl Salotto dell\u2019Arte\u201d<\/em>, Rome, March 22, 2009.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"font-377884\"><em>\u201cPremio Una Vita per la Cultura\u201d<\/em>,\u00a0<em>Galleria Salotto dell\u2019Arte<\/em>, Rome.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"font-377884\">2014 \u2013 IV International Literary Award Europe for the novel (<em>Dal Profondo del Cuore<\/em>) \u2013 May 11, 2014, Lugano.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"font-377884\">II Navarro Prize for the novel (<em>Dal Profondo del Cuore<\/em>), May 13, 2018, in Sambuca di Sicilia, Sicily.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"font-377884\">Special Award\u00a0<em>\u201cLilly Broggi \u2013 La Pergola Arte\u201d<\/em>\u00a0for the novel (<em>Dal Profondo del Cuore<\/em>), Florence, October 27, 2018.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"font-377884\">V Prize for the novel (<em>Dal Profondo del Cuore<\/em>) at Versilia Club\u2019s\u00a0<em>\u201cMassa Citt\u00e0 Fiabesca di Mare e di Marmo\u201d<\/em>, September 28, 2019.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"font-377884\">1st International Prize dedicated to the feminine universe\u00a0<em>\u201cDonne d\u2019Amore\u201d V.
