My name is Alessandra and Pennaspillo is my blog dedicated to travel, lifestyle, and everyday life between Genoa and London. For many years I worked as a lawyer in Italy. Today, I’m a freelance blogger, visual storyteller, and mom to Matteo, Filippo, and Andrea. On Pennaspillo, I share unusual places, authentic moments, and the details that often go unnoticed. I travel a lot, take countless photos, and share all the hidden wonders I discover along the way. Above all, through my SoulMap™, I help you discover London like a true local. I’m an Official Contributor for Accidentally Wes Anderson, with a selection of my photographs featured on their official website. Plus, in 2024, one of my photos was selected for their international touring exhibition across several cities around the world.
