Victoria Smith

Victoria Smith is a marketing executive who gave up her comfortable American life for the romantic adventure of moving to Tuscany with her husband. Typically, undaunted — one of the first women in marketing at Procter & Gamble in the early 1970s, a mega-agency advertising executive in the 1980s, and single mom for over a decade — Victoria’s confidence was rocked by the hurdles of actually living in a foreign culture. Today, she and her husband are fully engaged in their hilltown community, press their own olive oil, host friends and family, and are inspired every day by Italy’s dolce vita. Victoria continues her writing and work with local and global entities and returns to the USA to enjoy time with their kids and grandkids.
