Discovering and falling in love with Italy's La Dolce Vita aged 21, English writer Julie Burns revisits whenever possible. Her CV spans performing, broadcasting and publishing - from programme production at the BBC to feature writing for the UK/international press on arts and culture, style and lifestyle.
A fan of classic Italian fashion - especially a la Audrey Hepburn in movie 'Roman Holiday' - the nation's different places, different flavours, continue to inspire: from Capri to Assisi; Florence to Venice; Naples to the Lakes. 'From sunshine and sea to artisan crafts and Ferragamo shoes, along with heart-felt food from pasta to ice-cream, tutto bella!'
