Valeria is an Italian food and travel photographer and blogger based in London. She grew up in the Venetian countryside, surrounded by genuine food and picturesque rural landscapes. Her love for food was in her genes, but her passion for food photography came somewhere between her academic endeavors in languages, cultural studies and gastronomy. The power of food to convey stories about places and cultures has since been her main source of inspiration for both her writing and photography, whilst her cooking is inspired by the seasons as much as by her Italian roots.
