Writing
editSoncini is a prolific writer of both fiction and non-fiction books. After publishing Elementi di capitalismo amoroso (Italian for Elements of loving capitalism) in 2008 through Rizzoli, she chose to self-publish her book Come salvarsi il girovita (Italian for How to save your waistline), in 2012 on Amazon Kindle, debuting in the Top Ten.[3]
Her book I mariti delle altre (Italian for Other women's husbands) chronicles both her experience with her father's infidelity from a personal perspective and the culture of adultery in Italy in general.[1][2]
Her first novel, Qualunque cosa significhi amore ("Whatever love means", the notorious Charles Windsor's quote about his marriage to Diana Spencer), was published on May 27, 2015.[4]
