First, a little something about me 🙂
Hi there, and welcome to my blog! My name is Chiara. Ma Che Davvero? (Are you kidding me?), first launched in April 2008, is my personal blog.
I was born in Rome, Italy and I live in London since 2012.
I am a blogger, a writer, a digital strategist and a freelance journalist. I am a columnist for Cosmopolitan Italia (Love life) and Gioia Magazine (Expat mum life) and a contributor for Vanity Fair Italia and Jamie Mag Italia (travel).
 
 
I wrote a bestseller book, ‘Quello che le mamme non dicono‘ (What mums don’t tell) – Rizzoli.
My blog Ma che davvero? talks about:
- Everyday life in London
- Travel and events, with frequent photoposts and reportages
- Maternity and parenthood, in a very ironic and unconventional way
- Style and creativity
- All things nice 🙂
Since 2013 the main blog posts are in double language: ITA and ENG
