About us

My name is Edi Simonini and in 2011 I created Calendario Valtellinese, a portal born with a clear goal: to gather all events in Valtellina and Valchiavenna in a single place.

What started as just an idea has, year after year, become a reference point for those who want to know what to do in the province of Sondrio, among festivals, concerts, markets, sporting events, cultural initiatives, local traditions, and territorial activities.

Calendario Valtellinese is updated every day and is used both by those who live in the area and by those who come here to discover it, plan a weekend, or find events and activities to experience in Valtellina and Valchiavenna.

Every event published on Calendario Valtellinese is carefully selected and verified, to provide clear, useful, and always up-to-date information.
Over the years I have worked in different fields, but one thing has never changed: the passion for communication and for this land.

In addition to managing Calendario Valtellinese, I work as a copywriter and marketing specialist. I help companies, local businesses, and event organizers communicate better, tell their story in the right way, and reach more people.

Because promotion is not just about publishing a post.
It means understanding what makes a business or project special and finding the right way to bring it to people.

Those who follow me know that my style is direct, simple, and without unnecessary complexity.

I am not part of any editorial board, I do not have political or editorial “hats”, and I am not required to write what someone wants to hear. This allows me to describe the territory in a free, honest, and transparent way.

Calendario Valtellinese is an independent project, built over the years through constant presence in the area, direct experience, and daily work.

Whenever possible, I personally attend events, speak with organizers, experience activities, visit businesses, and listen to the stories of those who work in the area.
It is the best way to tell something in a credible way.

I am a perfectionist and a very hard worker. I continuously update myself, attend courses, study communication and marketing, and always look for new ways to improve what I do and provide more useful content to those who follow me.

I deeply love my work and I love this land.
And this is probably the reason why, after all these years, I continue to dedicate to Calendario Valtellinese the same energy as on the very first day.

Today, in addition to myself, there are also two collaborators who help me every day in managing the project.

Martina is responsible for publishing and promoting events, following everything that happens daily in Valtellina and Valchiavenna.

Silvia manages the social media part dedicated to companies and local businesses.

Giorgia, my daughter, helps with photo and video production when content needs to be created in the area.

Calendario Valtellinese is active 365 days a year and continues to grow thanks to the trust of the people who use it every day to discover events, places, traditions, and activities in the province of Sondrio.

I am always open to collaborations with companies, local businesses, institutions, and event organizers who believe in the value of well-done communication and authentic storytelling of the territory.
