AN INFLUENCER has vanished in southern Italy after sharing a cryptic message with her Instagram followers, prompting an urgent nationwide search.
Poet Tatiana Tramacere disappeared last Monday after leaving her home in Nardò to go to work, but she never arrived.
Her phone is off, and she has not contacted her parents, who reported her missing.
The 27-year-old was last seen wearing jeans and a grey coat.
Authorities are reportedly examining every aspect of her daily life, from romantic ties to her poetry posts, as they try to piece together what happened.
According to notizie.it, investigators are exploring new leads and reviewing CCTV footage from the area around her home and the city centre, though nothing useful has yet emerged.

A technical committee led by the Prefecture is coordinating Carabinieri, Civil Protection teams and volunteers.
Police also seized the phone of a 30-year-old Romanian man who allegedly met Tatiana at around 7.30pm on the day she went missing, the local outlet reported.
Prosecutors have opened a case against several unnamed persons of interest.
Tatiana, who studied psychology, had reportedly gone to dinner the night before with a friend named Alessandro and her mother, Ornella.
“She was fine, she was calm. We ate chips together and watched a movie,” Ornella said.
Ornella claimed that her daughter had bought train tickets to Brescia to visit her ex-boyfriend and “make peace” with him.
Tatiana’s social media activity is now part of the investigation, including a poem posted three days before she vanished.
She wrote: “We walked away to see if the thread would break.
“But what I realised, with every step away from you, is that the thread wasn’t taut to make me fall: it was taut to bring me back to you.
“Every time. Without noise. Without request. Without conditions.”
Notizie.it reported another set of verses found on her page: “I walked on unfamiliar roads, but I always felt your breath like an echo that never fades.
“We had to move away to measure the strength of the invisible thread that still binds us.”
Her brother Vladimir said Tatiana told her best friend she would visit on the evening of November 24, the day she went missing, “but never made it to her house”.
“We are desperate; anything could have happened to her,” he said.
“But we won’t give in to fear and bad thoughts; we will continue to look for her.”
Local mayor Pippi Mellone also appealed for public help, writing: “Tatiana never leaves without notifying her family.
“The search continues unabated. If you have seen her or have any information, call 112 immediately. Even a small detail can make a difference.”
Authorities have circulated Tatiana’s physical description: 155cm tall, straight red hair, and blue eyes.
Investigators are reportedly considering the possibility of voluntary removal, though no theory has been ruled out.
The search continues.
