About Me

Since moving to Rome in 2017, I’ve worked in tourism, written about Italian travel and culture, and helped thousands of travelers make the most of their time in Rome and across Italy.

In 2023, I finally hit my limit with all the generic (and downright bad!) Italy travel advice circulating on TikTok. That’s when I launched my page, sharing Italy tips that don’t suck—designed for travelers who want more than the same tired, basic advice they keep running into online.

Through my travel writing, social media, and personalized travel consults, I’ve built Italy by Sammi as your ultimate resource for exploring this incredible country.

The name is personal because I believe there’s no single “right way” to experience Italy. My advice is rooted in one philosophy: no traveler should feel like they’re stuck in a theme park version of this beautiful, complex country.
