Ciao, we are VIA Magazine.
The first, all-English travel and lifestyle publication for international visitors looking for a special kind of travel experience
Ciao! I’m Eleonora, the visionary behind VIA Magazine. My fascination with Puglia began over five years ago when I arrived in this enchanting region. Surprisingly, I found a lack of English resources catering to travelers like myself—curious, passionate, and eager to explore the beauty of Puglia. In 2019, I impulsively launched VIA Magazine, a pilot publication sharing the enriching experiences from my year-long travels here with my partner.
While the project is not about me, but exclusively about Puglia, it has organically evolved. With two printed issues and digital publications, VIA Magazine has garnered interest, expanded its content, and received tremendous support.
My commitment to promoting Puglia the right way has led me to roll up my sleeves, brimming with ideas that I am eager to share during your visit. Initially, I wrote many of the stories, and as the publication grew, I enlisted the help of talented freelance writers. Currently, I am crafting a new strategy and inviting individuals with hospitality projects, services, or unique products to collaborate and enrich the experiences of our visitors.
Everybody’s a work in progress.

In the post-pandemic landscape, my latest endeavor is the VIA Magazine #shortcast—a series of inspiring interviews and conversations with the region’s movers and shakers. What else? Expect more coverage on family-friendly travel as well as fashion in Puglia, including profiles of influential individuals and coverage of fashion events.
For those eager to delve into Puglia before their journey, our pocket guides are available for purchase.
Enjoy the journey,
Ellie
