Giulia, the winner of Amici 20: “Never give up in front of those who say you are wrong”

The days that follow a victory, an unexpected victory, are those in which the adrenaline slowly subsides, you realize what happened, what you really did, and everything falls away. To Giulia Stabile, 19, if you ask her what she will do, with those 237 thousand euros that she took home with her passion, her body, her talent and her sacrifice in dance, her smile and her story Friends, he replies on impulse: “I’ll buy Mom a dishwasher.” Then he stops for a moment. “I know one thing.

I don’t want to do nonsense. I feel a great responsibility towards the future. I will want to take a home. The diploma, too. Continue to study. I still have a lot to learn ».

She was the first female dancer to triumph in the program’s 20-year life.
“Many have told me: ‘You were such a child when you came in’, and in fact after 7 months away from home I feel like a different person today”.

What kind of person?
“Less closed, more open. Like someone who has understood that she can get away with it. Before, I was all in protection. “It could go wrong, so better not dare, that I could stay worse”. Instead, today I risk. I can live more. I say to myself: “This could happen to me too. So be it, we will face it ”».

So more adult than a child.
«I am so much a child, again, when I dance I become an adult».

His love born in the school of Maria De Filippi, the singer-songwriter Sangiovanni, 19, what do you think?
«The children in us have met. He makes me think a little more, I think a little less. Because it seems so mature but it is also immensely fragile ».

When were you most fragile?
“In the middle school years. They destroyed me, the years of middle school. How many insecurities. How they increased. If I had had today’s armor… ».

Kind?
“I hated my laugh. I was ashamed of it. I limited her, in public. I tried to silence it, to change it ».

What happened then?
“All. Luckily they never came to blows, but I don’t know if it was worse or better. They did very bad things to me. Sometimes I went back to class and found the objects I cared about most torn up, destroyed. And with them the money, the sacrifices of my parents to buy something for a child. One day they tore off my leather jacket with scissors. I was crying. For him, for my mom who, looking at me with that on, told me how good it looked. They had targeted me. I’ve never understood malice. I still can’t make sense of it. ‘

Can it be forgotten?
«Sangio taught me that to forget no, but to cure yes. He always has the right words, at the right moments. At some point it started not to matter if he won one or the other. On the contrary, he really said to me: “If it should happen to you, it will be a highlight of your message, which is an important message” ».

If you should give us a summary?
«Be as you are, don’t give up in front of those who don’t believe in you, those who tell you“ You are wrong ”, those who tell you“ You can’t do this in life. You can not do this”. Really, that’s a lie. Don’t give up in spite of everything ».

Why is it its symbol?
“Because even when I didn’t feel strong in the end I could find strength somewhere.”

What did you feel when the cameras of the final went off?
“I still didn’t believe it. They pulled me left and right. I would have liked, could have said one thing to all those who have hurt me. But I didn’t do it because I would have put myself at their level ».

The greatest fear, the one that remains.
“My legs are shaking to think I can’t live off dancing. To hurt me. And have to stop. But I will try to support myself, to heal myself as much as possible, to eat better. Sangio does not help in this. He has a perfect metabolism. He never gets fat, damn it. ‘
