hi, I'm Danila
A writer, language teacher, musician and mom, and founder of Viva la Dolce - a space where we celebrate the simple beauty in everyday life. Inspired by the phrase "la dolce vita" (the sweet life), Viva la Dolce is where I share stories, culture and joys that make life feel full.
The phrase “Viva la Dolce” refers to embracing and celebrating the “dolce” in life – all the things that make life “sweet”! For some that may mean, the joy of setting a table with care, slipping on a favourite outfit, spending time with family, working at a successful career, vacationing in Capri, or even just taking a moment to enjoy a delicious cappuccino!
Life can be busy, but I make it a point to slow down and savour the things that bring me joy. My hope is to inspire you to do the same—to create your own dolce vita, one sweet moment at a time.
