1 — If you were given ten thousand liras right now, how would you spend it?
2 — What kind of future do you wish for yourself?
3 — If you were given the choice of writing the biography of a genius, whom would you choose?
4 — What, in your opinion, are the qualities of the ideal woman?
5 — Which lesson is the most important, in your view?
6 — Are you content to be a girl, or would you have preferred to be a young man — and why?
7 — If you could choose the country in which you were born, which country would you choose?
8 — What is the most beautiful hour you have ever known?
9 — What is your advice to the younger generation of girls?
10 — What kind of young man do you want as a companion for your life?
