The ISSIMO Edit: Laura May Todd

November 13, 2025

The ISSIMO Edit
Laura May Todd

The Milan-based writer and Il Pellicano’s current writer in residence

Meet Laura May Todd – design editor, Milan insider, and the person you call when you need to know where to find the perfect espresso cup, linen sofa, or quiet trattoria with the red wine that tastes like November. Originally from Canada, Laura has made Milan her home, writing about the beauty of Italian life for publications like T Magazine, WSJ and Vogue. She notices the details most of us overlook: the curve of a chair, the way sunlight falls on terrazzo, the quiet theatre of everyday style.

In other words: she sees Italy the ISSIMO way.

She also recently joined us at Il Pellicano for the Writers’ Room project, the creative retreat we launched last year to offer authors the perfect setting to cultivate their creativity while contributing to the cultural fabric of Pellicano Hotels.

Consider this ISSIMO Edit her way of carrying that spirit into Milan, one thoughtful gesture, one well-loved corner of the city at a time.
