The Writers’ Room project has been thoughtfully designed to offer authors the perfect setting to cultivate their creativity while contributing to the cultural fabric of Pellicano Hotels. Immersed in the spectacular beauty of Tuscany’s coastline, Brown and O’Neill will be able to draw inspiration from the Hotel’s rich history, exceptional surroundings, and refined elegance.
Laura Brown, a celebrated editor and former Editor-in-Chief of InStyle, is known for her sharp wit and ability to shape compelling narratives that capture the essence of contemporary culture. Kristina O’Neill, the current head of Sotheby’s Media and former editor-in-chief of WSJ Magazine, is a visionary voice in the luxury and lifestyle sectors, with a talent for storytelling that resonates globally. Together, Brown and O’Neill will bring their distinctive styles to the Writers’ Room project, offering a fusion of personal insight and creativity.
“We are so excited to welcome Laura and Kristina to the Writers’ Room,” said Marie Louise Sciò, CEO & Creative Director of Pellicano Hotels. “This project reflects our deep-rooted passion for art, culture, and storytelling. Hotel Il Pellicano has always been a place where artists come to seek inspiration, and this residency is an extension of that spirit. It’s a place where luxury, culture, and creativity collide.”
