Dante Castellano

Italian travel blogger and architect Dante Maria Castellano founded "I Viaggi di Dante" (Dante's Travels) in 2012. Initially a personal record of his journeys, the platform has evolved into a specialized resource for cultural, artistic, and literary travel. His approach centers on "auteur destinations," exploring locations deeply tied to the lives of historical figures, particularly authors and artists. Content often delves into sites associated with figures such as Dante Alighieri, Enzo Biagi, and Amedeo Modigliani, offering a blend of travel experiences and rich cultural context. Beyond specific places, his work encourages a deeper engagement with unfamiliar surroundings, fostering new perspectives and self-discovery. A trained architect, Castellano developed his passion for writing through various courses, including at Scuola Holden, which informs his meticulous approach to crafting travel reportages. His professional contributions extend beyond his blog; he works as a copywriter for Guide Marco Polo and contributes articles to various journalistic outlets. Since 2017, he has served as a testimonial for TiNoleggio and an ambassador for Flixbus and Interflix, underscoring his role in the travel sector. His work has been featured in prominent Italian publications like Corriere della Sera and has received radio coverage, positioning him as a respected voice within the travel blogging community.
