Silvia Salis says assisted fertility led to her son’s birth
Silvia Salis says assisted fertility led to her son’s birth after she and her husband, Fausto Brizzi, tried for a year to have a child.
Salis, the mayor of Genoa, shares the experience in her book, *È già domani*, released on October 13.
Their son Eugenio was born in 2023 after a longer journey than she had expected.
She says fertility treatment brought emotional strain, including weeks of waiting for results and calls from doctors.
The couple chose Salis’s surname for their son, rather than his father’s, as a small sign in support of social change.
Eugenio was named after Salis’s father, who met his grandson and spent about a year and a half with him before dying in early 2025.
Salis wants to speak openly about fertility treatment and the personal choices and uncertainty involved.
Silvia Salis says she and her husband, Fausto Brizzi, used assisted fertility treatment before the birth of their son, Eugenio.
She recounts the experience for the first time in her book, È già domani, published by Feltrinelli and available from 13 October.
Salis says the couple tried for a year to have a child before beginning treatment.
Eugenio was born in 2023 and was given Salis’s surname.
Salis says the surname choice was intended as a small example to help contribute to social change.

La fecondazione assistita è una tecnologia straordinaria, ma non è mai soltanto una questione tecnica.
Fausto e io abbiamo deciso di dare a Eugenio il mio cognome per dare un esempio, il nostro piccolo segnale per contribuire a una rivoluzione sociale.
