Bio

Stephen Brewer has been writing travel guides for three decades. As an editor and writer, he has focused on European coverage for such magazines as Esquire, Connoisseur and Geo, and he was a producer of a popular radio travel show for many years. He has written several previous guides for Frommer’s, Insight, and other companies, as well as authoring Beautiful Small Coastal Towns for Rizzoli. Stephen divides his time between Manhattan and Italy. He has written for Frommer's since 2007, as well as The Independent, Daily Telegraph, various travel magazines, and numerous travel guides. Stephen resides in New York City.

A longtime contributor to Frommer's guides, Elizabeth Heath is a writer and editor based in Umbria, central Italy, from where she writes about travel and culinary adventures in Italy, Europe and farther afield. Her work has appeared in Huff Post, The Telegraph, Cara, and other outlets. She recently authored a book on the architecture of Rome.

Michelle Schoenung is an American journalist and translator in Milan who relocated to the Belpaese in 2000 for what was to be a yearlong adventure. Almost two decades later, she is pleased that Milan has evolved into a much more international and cosmopolitan city and has shed its image of merely being a foggy northern Italian business hub. Her writings and translations have appeared in magazines and books in the United States and Italy. In her free time, she likes to read, run, travel and explore the city with her two rambunctious Italian-American bambini. She resides in Milan, Italy.

Donald Strachan is a travel writer and journalist who has written about Italy and Europe for publications worldwide, including National Geographic Traveller, The Guardian, Telegraph, and CNN.com. He lives in London, England.
