Patrizia Vigolo
Wine Editor
Ciao a tutti! My name is Patrizia and I live in Vicenza located in the beautiful Veneto region. I am an AIS sommelier and WSET 3 certified. I have more than 10 years’ experience in the wine industry as sales director for several Italian wineries. Outside of work, I love to visit wineries, read, cook, travel, and spend time with my family. I love wine for many different reasons. One of the main reasons is that wine makes people meet and share experiences.: A glass of wine with friends, family or colleagues can make your day. In a glass of wine there is a story: the story of a family, tradition, and territory. I think a glass of wine can be an endless story to discover. You will never, and I say never, find two wines similar. I love to think that for every single situation, there is the right wine. Follow me if you want to learn more about Italian wines and tips about the amazing wine world. Cin Cin!

Travel fuels my soul, and I am beyond excited to be a contributor to Live in Italy.

Emma Prentice
Contributor
My name is Emma and I’m a British expat living in Ferrara, Italy. I fell in love with Italy on my university year abroad when I worked as a teaching assistant in a primary and middle school. From that point my future plans changed and once I graduated from my undergraduate degree back in England, I decided to move back to Italy to complete a master’s course in languages and literature. I have now graduated from my master’s, and I work as a primary school teacher at an international school, making my passion for teaching and Italy my full-time occupation! Outside of work, I have a love for travel, photography and writing – which has led to this wonderful opportunity to write for Live In Italy!

Valeria Markowska
I’m Valeria, a passionate writer, travel blogger, and expat in Italy. My Italian story began most unexpectedly: what was supposed to be a gap year, learning a new language and doing an art course, has turned into 8 years and counting of living here. I call Bologna home, but to be honest, I feel equally comfortable roaming the narrow streets of Venice, hiking around Lake Garda, visiting an art exhibition in Milan, or lazily sipping wine and watching the sunset in Monopoli. My love for this country brought me to create Dramatically Expatic, a YouTube channel and travel brand, to share Italy’s hidden spots, curiosities, and useful information with fellow Italy lovers.
