Cristian Bonetto Author

Cristian Bonetto has experienced Italy as both a local and a visitor, providing him with a unique perspective on the country and its many shades. Over the past decade, the former TV scriptwriter has written scores of travel guides and articles on the country, most notably for Lonely Planet. When he’s not tucking into plates of cacio e pepe (cheese and pepper pasta) or arguing with Roman friends about who makes the city’s best espresso, you’ll find him pounding the pavement in his other regular haunts, among them LA, New York, Copenhagen and Melbourne. Cristian also writes hotel reviews for UK broadsheet The Telegraph.
