This was followed by training in marketing, management and healthcare policy in 2014 to 2015.

Political positions[]

D'Antuono is advocating for the inclusion and advancement of women in leadership positions and aims for equal political representation. She criticises inequalities in the medical sector, such as the fact that less is known about diseases and the effect of medicines on the female body, that diseases are diagnosed less quickly and that the risk of misdiagnosis or wrong treatment by doctors is higher.[4]

In a guest contribution, she called for the expansion of the Permanent Structured Cooperation (PESCO) and pleaded for a permanent EU armed corps that could be deployed quickly and autonomously in crises. For future missions, obstacles should be removed quickly in order to be able to use existing structures and to find joint responses to crises. She also envisages coalitions of the willing for the establishment of a first permanent EU battle group.[5]

Personal life[]

Under the pseudonym Francesca del Mar, D'Antuono wrote several short stories and two books.[6][7]
