Maria Fittipaldi Menarini recounts her life with sincerity and irony, from her family origins to the present day, intertwining private memories and generational stories. Through vivid recollections and clear language, she tells the story of a large Italian family, from their homes in Florence and Rome and Swiss boarding schools to the Tuscan countryside. It is a journey that starts from her roots—among eccentric grandparents, ladies of yesteryear, and strict maternal figures—and leads to her choices as a woman and mother, in a continuous dialogue between heritage and freedom. An intense life, made up of difficult moments and new beginnings, acknowledged mistakes, and deep affections. Above all, there is the love for her daughters, with whom Maria now shares her passion for Bolgheri and its excellent wines through an all-female family project that has given rise to the Fittipaldi women's winery. The title, Pensa che fortuna (Think how lucky), encapsulates the spirit of the book: the ironic and conscious gratitude of someone who has been able to navigate the complexities of life without ever ceasing to seek out its beauty.
