Julia, my niece, was able to fill a little bit that hole with her smile, with her words, to bring us back to life.

This story is unfortunately not an isolated case.

A few months after Chiara's sister was killed, another young woman by the name of Giulia Ciacatini was murdered by her ex-boyfriend.

That further sparked a national outcry in Italy around issues of violence against women.

That reckoning led to this new femicide law.

We wanted to know more about the other Julia story and the law itself.

So we called up the BBC's Sarah Rainsford.

She's based in Rome and she's been covering this all.

And I began our conversation by asking Sarah what this new law actually entails.

Well, Sarah, thank you so much for taking the time to explain this all to us.

I really appreciate it.

Before we go, we wanted to bring you some final thoughts from Chiara, who we heard from earlier.

You'll recall that her sister's brutal murder helped galvanize the Italian public around this issue.

As I was wrapping up the interview with Chiara, she stopped me to explain why she had agreed to speak to us.

I felt ashamed of my life for quite some months, you know?

People saying, oh, I don't know what to say, stuff like that.

It's a burden, wherever you go.

You don't feel like sharing.

So when I wrote this book, I made an oath with the publisher and I said, this will never be translated in another language.

And this was especially meant for not sharing my story in the Netherlands.
