My name is Anna. I’m a translator and licensed tour leader in Italy.

On a personal note, I’m a mom of a fantastic young woman Ewa and I’m passionate about Italy, foreign languages, and cultural differences.

As I mention on my Facebook page Pani ToskAnia, and on Instagram @pani_toskania:

“I fell in love with Tuscany, Cortona, and olive oil. Little by little, I discover all those precious things every day, as I discover myself.”

I visited Cortona for the first time in 2011. The city instantly became my second home, and the Tuscan olive oil, which I now produce with my partner – the other love of my life. 

One might ask, why did I choose Tuscany? Countryside, peaceful existence, healthy food, and wine (consumed in moderation, of course) are the essence of Tuscany for me. They remind me of my childhood years spent with my grandma in the Polish countryside and are deeply rooted in my heart.

It is my greatest pleasure to share my passion and discoveries with those who love Tuscany and seek to explore it like the locals do. I invite you to join me on a slow-paced discovery of Tuscany. Put on your walking shoes and let’s take this journey together!
