Time has just released it new list of the 100 most influential people in the world. Beyond already famous names such as Leonardo DiCaprio or Angela Merkel, just to mention a few, there are marvellous stories hidden by names that most of us have never heard before.

This year, the American magazine added two Italians to its prestigious list: Riccardo Tisci, Givenchy's fashion designer, and Elena Ferrante, the famous writer that is publishing her work under a pseudonym.

Tisci is described as a fashion agitator, a rebel, a person that can push boundaries and defy conventions. Ferrante's personality, instead, cannot be described due to her hidden identity, but the success of her books can speak for her.
