Who I am
My name is Lucia Campo, I was born and raised in the picturesque landscape of northern Italy, between lakes and mountains, just a stone’s throw from Milan.
With a master’s degree in Archaeology and another in Education, I’ve always been deeply connected to Italy’s cultural and natural heritage. I spent years uncovering stories of Italy’s past and sharing my passion for culture and storytelling with younger generations of students.
One of my favorite weekend activities has always been discovering small, family-run wineries, where I’ve met people with incredible stories of passion and hard work, while having the chance to taste exceptional wines.
During these occasions, I experimented firsthand how deeply Italian wine, culture, and archaeology are intertwined, and I realized that I wanted to share this beauty with Italy-enthusiasts like you.
In 2023 I moved to Boston and began a new chapter of my life, fully immersing myself in the fascinating world of wine through the WSET Diploma with Wine and Spirits Education Trust, one of the highest achievements within wine education. I am expected to graduate in July 2025.
Besides holding a WSET Level3 Certificate (with Merit), I am a Champagne Specialist certified by the Comité Champagne (Mention Excellent), a Wines of Chile Ambassador, and a Certified Rhône Specialist.
Wine (Vino, in Italian) has always been part of my daily family life, so it’s more than a drink to me: it’s sharing, it’s community, it’s joy, it’s a delicious ingredient, and a lens through which I explore history and culture, from ancient times to the present day.
My background knowledge and passion for Italian history and culture, as well as my love for food and wine, make me an enthusiastic ambassador and promoter of my cultural heritage.
I look forward to sharing with you my expertise and enthusiasm!
