Almut Siefert
Rome, Italy

I was born and grew up in Frankfurt am Main. I also studied political science and international law there (diploma). My Erasmus semester in Florence brought me to live in Italy for the first time. After my studies, I completed a traineeship at the Stuttgarter Nachrichten. I then went to Rome for four years as a permanent correspondent for the Stuttgart editorial team in 2016. Back in Germany, I was responsible for page one and page three of StN and headed the foreign team at Zeit ONLINE for another year before becoming a freelance Italy correspondent in 2023. Since then, I've been living in Rome again - and mainly report on Italian politics and the Vatican from here.
