The Voci digital book is based on the 2022 exhibit that took place in Naples, Italy. With a Fulbright Scholar Award, and the collaboration of the University Federico II and the Assessorato alle pari opportunità del Comune di Napoli, art-based research culminated in the creation of a video installation. Filmed interviews were presented on 14 video monitors creating a multi-layered conversation about domestic violence, particularly during the Covid-19 lockdowns in Italy. It included the voices of survivors of domestic violence and the advocates who help them, psychologists, researchers, and abusers themselves. The immersive installation was accompanied by a panel discussion that was open to the public.

In addition, Del Buono founded and runs a free after-school art program for underprivileged kids in Connecticut.
