Born in 1964, the passionate blogger and author Andrea Behrmann grew up in Milan and Rome. Since childhood, she has been enamored with Spiaggia, Piazza, and Pecorino. Later, she studied in Cagliari and earned her degree in language and literature. After meeting her husband in Sardinia, she fell in love with the island and has been working as a travel journalist from there for nearly 20 years. Caterina Mesina, a native Italian born in Rome, began leading study trips through Italy while studying history, German studies, and Romance studies. The passionate author has extensively explored her homeland: in the mid-1990s, she traveled through Sicily and developed a particular fondness for Sardinia—the home of her grandparents. In her daily life, Caterina Mesina wanders through Rome's underground with her husband, an enthusiastic archaeologist, explores the hotspots of Roman nightlife, or searches for the best ice cream shops with her son Federico.
