She started writing about her travel experiences in Florence and Tuscany in the mid '90s and since then has traveled extensively throughout Italy, but she has always had a soft spot for the south, especially Campania.

Downtime is spent with her photographer partner Gianluca Moggi (who shot the photos for this guide) in their olive grove just outside Florence.Full-color throughout Insider advice on avoiding the crowds as you explore some of the Amalfi Coast's greatest gems, from the Museo Nazionale di Capodimonte and Museo Archeologico Nazionale in Naples to the ruins at Pompeii and Herculaneum.
