about

Ciao, welcome to my blog!
My name is Eleonora Baldwin, I am an American born and Italian raised, global citizen.  As a food and travel writer, journalist, blogger, film crew member; and wanderlust addict based in Rome, I divide my time between writing food and lifestyle stories, guiding foodie adventures, and designing culinary vacations in Italy.

I started the blog Aglio, Olio e Peperoncino in January 2009, and you can read more about it on my FAQ page.

I am the author of three other blogs:
Roma Every Day
Rome City Guide for Kids
Forchettine
in these I write about Italian culinary customs and way of life, review restaurants, provide useful tools for parents traveling with kids in Rome, and capture the Eternal City's essence in my amateur photography.

I've also written for several online publications, including articles, guest posts and regularly featured columns.
