She is the author and host of Radio3-Rai and Swiss Italian radio. In 2002, the crucial meeting with Vasco Bendini, the Italian master of the informal art (Bologna 1922-Rome 2015) began with a deep partnership, culminating in the Presidency of the Vasco Bendini Archive, by which Irene Santori promotes the historical artist’s work at a national and international level. Her poetic texts are translated into English, Spanish, Portuguese, German, Chinese (translated by Yang Lian).
