Cristian Bonetto Coordinating Author, Naples & Campania Despite his northern Italian back-ground, espresso-guzzling Cristian is an ardent fan of the country’s sunbaked south. A one-time writer of farce and TV drama, the Melbourne-born writer is hooked on the region’s penchant for intensity, irony and extremes. Cristian has both lived and holidayed in the Bel paese (Beautiful Country), his musing on the country’s food, culture and inimitable style appearing in newspapers,

magazines and websites across the globe. To date, Cristian has contributed to over 30 Lonely Planet guides, including Italy, Naples & the Amalfi Coast, Venice & The Veneto, New York City, Denmark, and Singapore. You can follow Cristian’s globe-trotting adventures on Twitter (@CristianBonetto) and Instagram (rexcat75).

Gregor Clark Sicily Gregor caught the Italy bug at age 14 while living in Florence with his professor dad, who took him to see every fresco, mosaic and museum within a 1000km radius. He’s lived in Florence and Le Marche, huffed and puffed across the Dolomites while researching LP’s Cycling Italy and contributed to three previous editions of this guide. A lifelong polyglot with a Romance Languages degree, Gregor has written for Lonely Planet since 2000, with an emphasis on

Mediterranean Europe and Latin America.

Brendan Sainsbury Puglia, Basilicata & Calabria An expat Brit from Hampshire, England, now living near Vancouver, Canada; Brendan has covered Italy five times for Lonely Planet reporting on 16 of its 20 regions. For this edition he suffered horizon-tal rain in Matera and spent three minutes in a decontamination chamber in Reggio di Calabria. When not scribbling research notes for Lonely Planet in countries such as Cuba, Peru, Spain and Canada, Brendan likes to run up

mountains, strum his flamenco guitar, and experience the pain and occasional pleasure of following Southampton Football Club.

Contributing Writer Helena Smith contributed to the Naples & Campania chapter.

OUR WRITERS

OUR STORYA beat-up old car, a few dollars in the pocket and a sense of adventure. In 1972 that’s all Tony and Maureen Wheeler needed for the trip of a lifetime – across Europe and Asia overland to Australia. It took several months, and at the end – broke but inspired – they sat at their kitchen table writing and stapling together their first travel guide, Across Asia on the Cheap. Within a week they’d sold 1500 copies. Lonely Planet was born.

Today, Lonely Planet has offices in Franklin, London, Melbourne, Oakland, Beijing and Delhi, with more than 600 staff and writers. We share Tony’s belief that ‘a great guidebook should do three things: inform, educate and amuse’.
