ciao!

And welcome! I’m so happy that you’re here! I hope you stay a while and that you discover a dish you’d love to make or experience you’d love to have…and I hope you enjoy everything in between too!

My name is Lonielle and here is a bit about myself, and appetite for beauty & Italy…

I am a wife, a mamma and an Italian at heart. I love to create beauty in the everyday - artfully, elegantly and as Italian as possible. I am a lover of lemons, wine, coffee, and magical photographs. If I could be anywhere, it would be walking the streets (after just having a cappuccino and cornetto of course) of an Italian hilltown, looking out at the views while listening to the church bells, Vespas and Italian conversations.

When I’m not in Italy, I’m on the central coast of California, where I make my life with my husband, and three perfect babies.

My Italian soul started calling me to create Life Lemons Italy about five years ago, and since then it has become one of the most incredibly fulfilling projects I have ever done. As it continues to grow, so do I, and so do my dreams for it. And they are big, they are colorful, creative, unique, messy, perfect and delicious….oh and very Italian :)

I hope you follow along with me (which you can do HERE) to see where this Italian road takes us!

A presto,

Lonielle*

P.S. I love chocolate too.

This is us :)

* In case you are wondering…it’s like Danielle but with a LO instead of a DA….that’s what I always say. And if that still doesn’t work, you pronounce it Lawn-yell. Just please don’t call me Lionel…that’s a name for a train:)
