In 2017, I met Sarah Arcuri online through her blog and social media – The Sweet Paisana @thesweetpaisana. Her lifestyle blog focussed on authentic Italian food, beauty and fashion, and all things encompassing la bella vita. Born into a large Italian family, Sarah was raised with strong traditional Italian values, and she is passionate about carrying on the traditions and lifestyle of her heritage.

Being very impressed with her writing and videos, we connected and she became a Featured Contributor of Italia Living, as we helped each other to grow our audiences further. Over the years she developed a large loyal following, has worked with numerous brands as an influencer, and launched her own e-commerce business, Catholic Gilt, an online clothing and accessories boutique.
