About Me

My name is Alessandra and Penna a Spillo is my blog. I live between Genoa and London. After many years of practicing law in Italy, I’m now a blogger freelance. I have three boys, Matteo, Filippo, and Andrea. I love to travel and to take photographs during my wanderings. I write about all my discoveries and, most of all, I never stop looking around.
