Mara Venier was also a victim of violence against women .

He confessed this to Corriere della Sera, as he prepares to return to the helm of his fourteenth Domenica In .

“I had a violent partner. Very violent. He beat me. He came to try to kill me - said the Venetian presenter, 71, for the first time -. He waited for me under the house with a knife ".

This man was one who “had not accepted the end of our story. He said he still loved me. But this is not love . They are men who feel they own your body and soul. And they destroy you, not just with blows or stabs. They make you feel like nothing. One thing in their hands. I have experienced fear. The fear of physical violence, and the fear of filing a complaint. But I was in love, and when you love you don't want to see: love leads you to justify almost everything. It was a serious mistake ”.

In the end "I was forced to report, I went to the set with two carabinieri as an escort. But I should have stopped the spiral first. For a long time something unsolved remained inside me: weakness, anger, inability to react .. . Unfortunately, we women are like this: we have the Red Cross syndrome but unfortunately they don't change. And then we have to leave. Leave him. At the first slap, immediately . We must not allow him to exercise power, violence on us; otherwise it's over " .

"That man is gone - he later concluded - and I, in the end, I forgave him".
