Nunzia Locatelli and Cintia Suárez They have journalistic training and with that look “they observe the Gospel”. This appreciation given by Roberto Dabusti, a graduate in Social Communication in Communication from the Argentine Catholic University, somewhat defines the objective that both women set themselves when investigating -for now- two figures from the Catholic Church, and making these searches, each books.
One of the books is regarding dad Juan Pablo I, whose death in September 1978 is still an unsolved mystery; the other, regarding mom Antulawhom Locatelli and Suárez define as “an empowered woman in colonial Buenos Aires”, and who, if they succeed, can become the first saint born in Argentina. This is a task that neither of them finds impossible, it was the investigation on John Paul I the one that led them to discover a miracle that he had performed in Argentina, and that following passing all the tests –and which some also describe as obstacles– imposed by the Vatican, they achieved their beatification in September of last year. For these reasons, in the Buenos Aires Legislature the respective diplomas as Outstanding Personality of Culture were delivered to Nunzia Locatelli and Cintia Suárez.
Although it might be assumed that both are ultra-religious since they take Catholic Church characters like both as objects of study and research, the approach they seek is not that. For this reason, Dabusti pondered the journalistic perspective of both, and according to him, “Nunzia and Cintia follow the ‘Make a mess!’ What did Pope Francis say in 2013? And he exemplified it with the investigation of Mama Antula: both overcame a certain resistance that existed in the ecclesiastical hierarchy in Rome, and finally that book was published by the Vatican publishing house. Due to her origin and her gender, this woman from the north of Argentina in the 18th century was made invisible not only by the Argentine church and for history, although it has an image –sober by the way– on Avenida 9 de Julio, and shortly –by Locatelli and Suárez management–, its name will be added to the Independencia station on the E subway line.
“ It is very difficult for me to talk regarding myself in public or to be the protagonist of an event. In fact, I don’t usually celebrate my birthdays so as not to call attention to myself”, said Nunzia Locatelli –born in Milan and married to Marcos Bulgheroni–, before completing the formality of the act that took place in what was the office that belonged to to Eva Peron. “I put all my energy into exposing those who have been hidden by history, especially women. I tell you that At first I had to break down the prejudice that a foreigner should not meddle in Argentine issues. Without leaving aside, in addition, the fact of being a woman, another obstacle. (…) But the load is less heavy if it is carried between two and with Cintia we were able to resignify this. We broke some prefabricated schemes, some ideological windows and the rhetoric where a very rigid and fundamentalist type of society is locked up“.
For her part, Cintia Suárez explained that “with my colleague Nunzia Locatelli we have created a work duo in which we narrate stories of overcoming women, inexplicable events, and spiritual experiences. My main intention is to offer a source of hope and inspiration to readers Many times these investigations bother or want to be silenced, but we have always had spaces to disseminate them (…) Thanks once more to the Buenos Aires Legislature, which was the first place where I was able to publish a book of my own regarding Mama Antula.”
