Celebrating Life with Those Who Make It Special
 

Turning 50 is no small thing — it’s a milestone! Half a century of life — and I like to think it’s just the first half, because I fully intend to live past 100, with lots of health and joy for life!

Getting here with health, maturity, joy, and so much love around me is a huge blessing — and that’s why this celebration means so much to me.

These are the people who have been part of my journey: family who has been by my side from the very beginning, childhood friends who grew up with me, friends I made through my career – and those I met in New York, at Haras Larissa, or over the past four years in Switzerland.

Before that, I spent many years in São Paulo, a decade in amazing New York, and then back to São Paulo… Each chapter filled with unique people and unforgettable memories — and many of you have been there since the very beginning.

I have so much to be thankful for: having my mom with me at 80, beautiful, healthy, and always present, is a rare privilege. Having Xande by my side — my partner in life for over 20 years — is proof that true love stands the test of time. And of course, my two greatest treasures, Luca and Giulia — everything I’ve built and achieved in life pales in comparison to what it means to be their mom.

This gathering in Puglia is about celebrating all of that: the road traveled, the people who shaped me, and the start of a new chapter — one that begins with a heart full of gratitude and excitement. Thank you for being part of it. I can’t wait to share this moment with you.
