After her heart spoke louder, Denya arrived in Florence in 2005 to get married. And 20 years later she, who left Vitoria, in Espírito Santo (southeastern region of Brazil) built her career on Italian soil. Tourism and Journalism are her greatest passions, inherited from her parents. This training allowed her to work in the area of ​​communication (journalism and press office) and provided her with tools and growth in the tourism sector, working at the family travel agency.

From this experience, Denya took her own path and today she is one of the most sought-after tour guides by Brazilians who want to discover Tuscany. In addition, she created and writes for the blog www.grazieate.com.br, a space in which she talks about Italy and offers advice on restaurants, accommodation, interesting places to visit, also presents news and shares the beauties, art, culture, lifestyle and gastronomy of the country. The simplicity that underlies Italian daily life is what she likes the most and from her point of view, no one has better taste than the Italian people and knows how to show how less is more. With two children, the journalist and tour guide hopes that Italy can offer opportunities and that it will be increasingly possible to welcome Brazilians here.
