"But the funds haven't been disbursed yet, so the lady pays me what she can." Just over 600 euros, from which Marzia Ranieri has to deduct 480 of rent for the house she lives in.

And the problems didn't end there. “My car broke down, twice. I didn't have a phone and Caritas di Sestu gave me an old one. But living like this is not possible. I also have to pay the bills, do the shopping, and in a short time I ended up with the bill ». Asking for Citizenship Income? "I felt it in the past, but I prefer to work, I don't want to be maintained by the state".

I don't think I'm asking much." Marzia Ranieri is open to any type of job: «I can be a sales assistant, a cleaner, a waitress, or even something else, as long as it's a safe job».
