Ciao, I’m Sommer.
I’m so glad you’re here! Join me as we celebrate and capture the beauty of old world Italian living in everyday life: italian cooking, home and garden inspiration, and enjoying the simplicity of la vita italiana.
Living in Italy deeply developed a love and beauty for the Italian culture in my soul. There is simply a “magic” about Italy that changes you. I wanted to find a way to share that magia with others—helping you bring a piece of it back to wherever you call home.
If you’ve found your way to this little angolo on the internet, I have a feeling you might be a bit of a romantic Italophile like me. This space is where I get to authentically share my love for the things that I came to value in Italy and share what I learned along the way.
My hope is that this space provides you with old world inspiration, reflection, and joy in slow living as we seek to live out la dolce vita.
xx Sommer
