Sarah Monni
Sarah was born and raised in the Netherlands, but Italian culture was introduced to her at an early age. She owes this to her Sardinian father, a man with a great passion for his (island) country. But also to her Dutch mother, who has seamlessly adopted the intricacies of Italian cuisine. In her youth, Sarah mainly visited Sardinia a lot, but nowadays she also travels to other regions of Italy to discover them. As a freelance writer, she would like to share her love for her second homeland with the readers of This Is Italy.
