Many years ago I was in an office where a beautiful woman with a strong position of power also worked. She was one of the most powerful people in the organization. She was as powerful as beautiful. She looked like the twin of Julianne Moore.

Do you understand what I mean when I say she was really beautiful?
The people who worked in those offices looked at her with wide eyes every time they saw her. The women with great admiration, men looked at her with enormous esteem for the position she reached.
What united men and women was the awe that Giulia was able to instill. I don’t deny that I was very afraid of her. Fear mixed with admiration for that extraordinary beauty and intelligence of her. Let's say that I preferred to look at her from afar, without getting close, at least fantasizing about her, but never taking the risk of seeking direct contact. When you get too close to power, you risk getting burned.
Then it happened that later I found myself occupying a position in which contacts with the department followed by Giulia were very frequent. And in a few days I was on the phone with her, my hands sweating. When she gave me an appointment in which I had to explain some projects I was following, I had a very slight sense of dizziness.
On the day of the meeting, awe prevailed over curiosity to know her and I would have gladly done without that meeting. But once I entered her office, it all vanished. I found myself for two hours talking to a very pleasant person, absolutely not detached, as far as one could imagine from the role of one who holds great power. I realized that probably everything that people saw in her was actually they were putting it on her. Giulia was indeed a beautiful woman, very intelligent, but deserving to occupy that position solely and exclusively for her merits and for her abilities. Intelligence and beauty were gifts that had been given to her and that she used to the best, without abusing them.
From that day on, I had the courage, from time to time, to go and have a coffee with her without blushing or without some improbable films starting in my head.
