Marilu Mastrogiovanni poses in front of a murales dedicated to Gloria Anzaldua, an American scholar of Chicana feminism, cultural theory, and queer theory, during an interview at the Bari's university, Monday, May 20, 2024. Investigative journalist, Professor of Investigative Journalism, has reported extensively on the infiltration of the Sacra Corona Unita in the local community and city hall for her blog "Tacco d'Italia." Her reports so angered the local government that they plastered the town with giant posters attacking her work and one depicted her up to her neck in a hole in the ground. After various threats, she was put under police escort and eventually decided to move her family to Bari where she now teaches investigative journalism in the Master in Journalism course at the University of Bari.
