Sienna, who spent 14 years living in Rome, began following the Amanda Knox case when it broke in 2007.  What struck her from the beginning was the hyperbole used to describe Ms. Knox in both the Italian and English-language press, all propagated by the Perugian police and the prosecution team through an irresponsible news media.  As the list of aspersions grew longer, Sienna began to record them, studying their etymology and reflecting on their historical use.  This 8-year inquiry into the destructive power of words and the history of character assassination is reflected in an immense amount of work that far exceeds the capacity of our home.
