I’m a fashion consultant and stylist with around 20 years of experience collaborating with both established names in fashion and music, as well as emerging talents. For the past six years, I’ve also been teaching at major fashion schools in Italy, offering courses in both undergraduate and master’s programs in fashion and music. Born in the mountains with a view of the sea, I’ve always been drawn to beauty in all its forms—my passion for fashion, food, and the sea has been with me for as long as I can remember.

Our writers come from all different walks of life–from all over the world, from different professional backgrounds, from all ages. We prefer our writers to be based in Italy: some were born and raised here, others moved here on a whim a few years ago. To us, the experience of those who grew up in Italy is just as important as those who have come here, seeing and feeling our culture through fresh eyes.

We like to publish evocative writers no matter their editorial experience. Whether a full-time journalist or someone who writes just for fun, our contributors are united by a passion for exploring the hidden corners of Italian culture and uncovering the stories that are often overlooked by mainstream media. As you read through our site, you’ll find that the voice of each and every writer shines through their work. Some articles may seem like they’ve been written by a non-native English speaker: that’s probably because they are. Just as we celebrate the beautiful, little things of Italian life, we embrace the small quirks that make each writer unique. And so the voice of Italy Segreta is exactly this: the tune, pitch and chords of each and every contributor, harmonizing to create a magazine that shows how Italy really feels.
