Valeria Silvestri
- Producer
- Writer
Born and raised in Rome, Valeria is the daughter of two hard-lined
leftists or "communists" (something that she's very proud of). After
receiving a bachelor's in communications, she started working for
Italy's largest telecommunications companies but she felt the need to
rescue her humanistic studies and entered a master's program in
multimedia history. The turning point of her career was a chance
meeting with respected politician, Silvia Costa, for whom she would
become his communications manager during the regional electoral
campaign in 2005. Silvia became her mentor as she entered the world of
women's studies, working as digital media expert in related groups and
associations. This experience brought her to her next challenge: the
national political election, where she was in charge of the Italian
Democratic Party leader's communications in 2006. Working side by side
with the party's writers and producers, Valeria became a broadcast
television and ITV expert, collaborating with very skilled television
and web professionals. This experience paid off a few years later, when
in 2009, she was asked to be executive producer, writer and host of
"amoRoma" for Dolce and a writer on the television series American
Dream(s).
