About us

A working journalist specialized in psychology and lifestyle since 1990, Patrizia wrote for Cosmopolitan, Anna, Gioia, Donna Moderna, Vera. After travelling and living abroad - two years in England, five in California, two in New Zealand - she returned to live and work in Italy. However, hearing foreign names continually mispronounced on Italian radio and television inspired Patrizia to establish a website dedicated to the final and definitive word on proper pronunciation.
