I’m an Italian gluten-free *Gourmet Traveler+* and a passionate storyteller, writing in English and Italian. Fluently speaking (eating and dreaming) in Italian, English, French, and Russian. When I'm not writing, I cook and test recipes for special diets, and photograph (also on film). Not necessarily in that order. --- / --- Sono una viaggiatrice buongustaia *la Gourmet Traveler+* senza glutine, appassionata narratrice di storie.
