Ciao! I’m Livia.
I’m an Italian-American travel writer and digital storyteller documenting culture around the world.
I believe travel is transformative — it has shaped my life from the very beginning. I was born into two cultures and grew up moving around three continents before returning to Italy, my country of birth, after university. In the past 15 years, I’ve explored il Bel Paese from top to bottom, uncovering its rich traditions, regional nuances and hidden gems.
I’m the founder of The Italy Edit, a digital magazine celebrating Italian culture and lifestyle, and I contribute regularly to Forbes, writing about luxury travel and cultural heritage. As a certified travel advisor with Fora, I also help travelers experience destinations in a meaningful and immersive way.
Beyond Italy, I spend months each year solo traveling across Asia, following my curiosity for history, art and traditions that still shape everyday life. For me, travel isn’t just about seeing new places: it’s about deepening our understanding of the world and ourselves. I share some of my thoughts on Substack.
I’m passionate about responsible tourism and sustainable development, preserving cultural identity and exploring the world more thoughtfully, and courageously. You can follow my journey on Instagram.
Outside of travel, I have worked as a communications consultant for the United Nations World Food Programme, focusing on digital engagement and partnerships for global impact. I studied Philosophy and Foreign Affairs at the University of Virginia, a background that continues to shape the way I see the world.
