Happy Monday, my Friend!
Welcome to Inside the Minds of Authors. The podcast that is dedicated to bringing you passionate authors with exciting books. Today we have the pleasure of having a fabulous guest joining us all the way from Italy. The talented novelist, Ms. Gudrun Cuillo, is chatting with us about her debut novel, Casalvento.
Gudrun was born in Leibnitz, Austria. Her instinctive artistic flair led to a career in opera as an artist-in-residence for stage scenery and makeup. That work eventually took Gudrun to New York to continue her education. While traveling throughout the U.S., Gudrun landed in Florida. There she fell in love with a successful entrepreneur and Broadway producer, Robert Cuillo. They married and in the ensuing years, they established Casalvento Winery in Radda, Chianti, Siena, Italy. Gudrun and Robert also restored Livernano, a nearby medieval village, to its original splendor.
Currently, Gudrun has two career passions: winemaking and writing. Her winemaking has garnered numerous awards and much recognition for Casalvento Winery. In her debut novel, Gudrun combines her life experience with her gift for storytelling. To learn more about her books, check out her website at https://gudruncuillo.com.
