“Why Giorgia Soleri’s Ibiza Holiday Proves How Rest is a Political Act (2023)”

2023 could be remembered by posterity as the year when holidays in Ibiza became a political act. At least that’s what he seems to want Giorgia Soleri, better known as the girlfriend of Damiano David, the Maneskin frontman. The influencer and former Beijing Express competitor, upon returning from a vacation on the Spanish island, took stock of her trip on Instagram and ruled that “in a society that considers performance, hyper-productivity and the sacrifice of one’s desires to adhere to inhuman standards of values ​​to show off, rest is a political act“.

The criticisms that have rained down on her in the last few hours are inevitable, especially from those who prove to be tired of the girl’s free sermons, who according to common opinion tend to exaggerate with what she would like to be social messages. Messages which, however, in reality turn into cloying life lessons from those who are perceived, most of the time, as a privileged person. But she doesn’t give up and in her post she underlines that the rest must be considered as a political act “even more when it is practiced by non-compliant, disabled bodies, queer. The privilege necessary to be able to afford to try to live, even if only occasionally, at the pace that one’s self needs, continues to be an injustice that we should fight“.

It is evident that Soleri has put together some concepts that she knows are particularly attentive on social networks, standing up as a champion of the most fragile also in the name of the pathology that afflicts her but which, fortunately for her, she can manage in a different way than many other women who they are affected. The journey to Ibizamoreover, it seems to have somehow been included in a working context, so the influencer hardly paid for the experience in full, as the rest of normal people would have done. “I hope to be able to treasure this powerful and intense experience and to be able to metabolize, process, internalize and pour it into the world in my turn. We desperately need beauty (in its broadest sense) and time to relearn how to grasp and cultivate it“, concluded Giorgia Soleri, attracting criticism. Among these: “If you don’t realize that passing off an expensive trip to Ibiza as a political act is a paraculate that pisses off even those who follow you, then there really is a underlying problem of perception of reality“.
