I did Google her, you have clearly created your own narrative about her.
"Pippa Bacca, born Giuseppina Pasqualino di Marineo (1974 – 2008), was the niece of the late conceptual Italian artist Piero Manzoni. Bacca was a feminist artist who, together with a fellow artist, was hitchhiking internationally to promote world peace under the motto, "marriage between different peoples and nations", symbolically wearing a wedding dress during her trek.
That faith inspired the Italian performance artist to embark on a pilgrimage of the Middle East, dressed as a “Peace Bride.”
Bacca and fellow artist Silvia Moro hitch-hiked from Milan to Israel and the Palestinian Territories as part of the “Brides on Tour” project. They separated in Istanbul with plans to reunite in Lebanon. But Bacca disappeared in Gebze. Her body was discovered in the same city: the police arrested a man who later led them to her body. The artist had been raped and then strangled by her murderer.
The Kocaeli 1st Heavy Penal Court handed down its sentence for suspect Murat Karataş on Thursday (25 June).
At the eighth hearing of the case, he was given a life sentence for murder, in addition to 7.5 years for sexual asault, 5 years for restricting a person's freedom, and 1 year and 8 months for theft.
On her sister's hitchhiking plans, and in light of the discovery of her body, her sibling Maria stated to Italian news agency ANSA that "Her travels were for an artistic performance and to give a message of peace and of trust, but not everyone deserves trust... We weren't particularly worried because she had been hitchhiking for a lot of time, and thus was capable of avoiding risky situations... She was a determined person when it had to do with working for art."
