The Desks
Who writes, and where they are.
Each desk is signed by the writer who covers it. Their name appears on every article they write, with a link to their page and an address at which they can be reached directly.
Alessandro Conti, Openings Desk, Rome. Alessandro Conti is based in Rome and covers hotel openings for Luxury.it, from Italy and the Alps to the rest of Europe: who is building, who is reopening, and which addresses will matter next season. He is drawn to buildings with a past, the convents, palazzi, customs houses and railway hotels brought back into use, and to the small openings that quietly turn a town into a destination. He reads a hotel by its floor plan, its staff-to-room ratio and its breakfast. alessandro [at] luxury.it
Camilla De Santis, Destinations Desk, Milan. Camilla De Santis is based in Milan and covers destinations and dining for Luxury.it: where to base a trip, when to go, and which coastlines, cities and dining rooms are worth the detour. She likes the shoulder seasons, the island that empties in September, the trattoria that has not changed its menu in forty years and the tasting menu that earns every one of its courses. She travels by train wherever a train exists. camilla [at] luxury.it
Riccardo Valli, Style & Living Desk, Rome. Riccardo Valli is based in Rome and covers style, villas and the water for Luxury.it: the wardrobes, the houses and the boats of the European season, from the fashion weeks to the summer charter market. What interests him is how things are made, the tailor's canvas, the yard's aluminium, the stone of a house that has stood through three owners, and the quiet villas that never reach a listing portal. He is as happy in a workshop as on a front row. riccardo [at] luxury.it
