Gloria also runs a guest house and is clearly passionate about sharing her perspective as a local in order to help others to understand and enjoy Tuscany. As she writes:

[Tuscany] is more than just the place I come from … the way I talk, my habits, tastes, and knowledge depend on the fact that I was born and grew up there.
