Ciao, I’m Selena

I am an Italian American living in Tuscany. Since as long as I can remember I was on a step stool in the kitchen of my aunt’s restaurant Little Italy rolling gnocchi, stuffing artichokes, and making sauce with my nonna and my zia. Italia runs deep in my DNA.

I am an anthropologist and have spent summers working on archaeology sites in Sicily and years studying food history, the myth and fairy tales of Italy and wine culture. My next adventure is absolutely going to be sommelier school.

I have guided wellness and small group tours for 10 years around the world but Italy is where my heart is.

I am a photographer, oral storyteller, writer, yoga & meditation teacher, and personal development coach.
