Testaccina

Writer and journalist Isobel Lee has lived in Rome for twenty years, accepting the challenge to live like the Romans do and immerse herself in local culture.

She chose the Eternal City’s former meat-packing district, Testaccio, to make her home, giving rise to her blog’s name, Testaccina.

She has worked with The Wall Street Journal, The BBC, ITV, Channel 4, CNBC and MTV Italia, and written about Italy for the Daily Telegraph, Vogue, Easyjet, Brussels Airlines, Iberia, Thomas Cook, Wizz Air, Jet2 and Norwegian Airlines’ in-flight magazines, as well as When Saturday Comes, REurope, PropertyEU, EuroProperty and Italianicious. Her areas of expertise include property investment and Italian food and beverages, plus sustainable travel.

Today Testaccina is a multimedia platform, sharing content not only on the blog, but also across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook and Pinterest. So whether you’re planning a holiday to Italy, are an expat in Rome, or are simply curious about the Italian life, don’t forget to follow on social media, and keep an eye on the blog.
