Sarah Campise Hallier

Sarah Campise Hallier is the Managing Editor of Poggioreale in America Inc, a nonprofit committed to preserving the history and cultural heritage of Western Sicilians and their diaspora. Her fascination with Italy goes beyond the postcard-perfect views—it’s about the layered history, the way past and present blur, and how every conversation somehow circles back to food. Featured in Italy Magazine, The Local IT, la Repubblica, and We the Italians, Sarah enjoys covering everything from cultural identity to the evolving Italian-American food experience. A California girl at heart, when she’s not crafting stories, she’s chasing down the best food and drink on her travels and sharing them on @FoodiesfromCA. Check out some of Sarah’s stories here.
