Journalist Francesca Barra has shared reflections on a spiritual journey to Bali, undertaken to process the grief following the death of her father, Francesco Michele, who passed away in June.

Accompanied by her husband, Claudio Santamaria, and daughter, Atena, Barra spent several weeks on the Indonesian island. She described the trip as an intimate pilgrimage to connect with her father’s memory, noting that he was a scholar and traveler who had written extensively about various locations in Indonesia.

Through social media, Barra documented her experiences, including purification rites and symbolic moments. While she noted that the trip did not provide immediate peace or total acceptance of her loss, she described it as an attempt to establish a “dialogue with absence” by revisiting the places her father loved.
