About My Story
Ciao, I’m Christina
I’m a writer, podcast host, and consultant with a deep love for Italy, storytelling, and soulful connection. As a proud Italian-American, I’ve spent the past few years tracing my roots and rediscovering the traditions, recipes, and stories that shaped my family. Through books, retreats, and honest conversations, I help others reconnect with where they come from — and what truly lights them up. Whether you're here to explore authentic Italian experiences, find a cherished family recipe, or tune into the podcast, I’m so glad you’re here.
Naples isn’t a city you just see — it’s a city you taste, hear, and feel in every step. Streets buzz with food rooted in tradition, staircases lead you into hidden neighborhoods, and history isn’t behind glass — it’s layered beneath your feet. This guide is my way of sharing the Naples I experienced: the flavors that linger, the stories locals proudly tell, and the places that make this city unforgettable. Whether you’re tracing your ancestry, chasing the best pizza, or just curious about the soul of Campania, consider this your starting point.
