Ciao and welcome. I'm Sommer, and after years of living in Italia, I wanted to share my experiences and love for the culture that became a part of my own—a way to have Italy at home.
Old World Italian is a space where I get to authentically share my love for the things that I came to value in Italy and share what I learned along the way. I am privileged to do that through sharing recipes, workshops, cultural insights and travel tips, hosting meaningful, curated Slow Living Retreats in Italy, and creating original Italian-inspired art.
My hope is that this space provides you with old world inspiration, reflection, intentionality and the joy of slow living as we seek to live out la dolce vita.
Whether it’s a simple espresso or a kind word of encouragement, every contribution helps sustain this journey—allowing me to continue telling meaningful stories, creating beautiful works of art, and dedicating more time to the world of Old World Italian.
If this space bring you a sense of warmth, nostalgia, beauty, or inspiration, and you’d like to support the work, this is a wonderful way to do so. Grazie, veramente, for being part.
Buy me a caffè and join me on this journey!
