All the latest from Renovating Italy

Before you go any further… Ciao! I’m Lisa Chiodo!

I’m someone who loves to share stories, a total nerd when it comes to all things italy, renovation & homes, and my passion is inspiring others to live a life they love (for us it’s living a simple life in Italy).

A Melbournian with a love of photography, writing, oh and a cat lover, my happiest days are spent exploring the world with my family. Oh and I’m no longer a brunette… now a blonde!

 I feel like we have found a little slice of paradise, and we want to share it all with you! I’m so glad you’re here.

Join the Renovating Italy Club!

YES I’M IN
