Lucia is the author of “Lucia's Lessons of Love”, host of the Los Angeles TV talk show “The Art of Love” and a syndicated columnist. She has been on “The Tyra Banks Show”, "E! Entertainment", "The KTLA Morning Show", “Playboy Radio” and "Rolonda Radio". She was voted Miss Urban Cougar December 2005 by Urbancougar.com and has been interviewed for documentaries which aired on British TV network iTV and Current TV.

Born in Italy and raised in Canada , this modern day Renaissance woman has enjoyed a whole host of careers. As a teenager, she had a stint as a truck-driving soldier. Her duet with a popular Italian artist afforded her the opportunity to parlay her singer-songwriter talents into a song and a video that aired in both L.A. and on Canada 's Much Music .

Lucia speaks four languages and has enjoyed a European modeling career. In recent years, she learned to express her artistic vision through photography and won a Los Angeles Music Award for “Outstanding Photographer”. She has photographed the concerts of everyone from Britney Spears to The Rolling Stones.

She's caused an ex to sob hysterically when she told him she was seeing someone new; She's inspired a man to climb a tree outside her apartment to try to find out why she stopped returning his calls; And she's reduced a self-described “player” to a frustrated mess, forcing him to seek advice from his famous rap star friend on how to win her over. Most recently, a man flew across the country just to see her for 5½ hours and another man said, “I love you” only one hour after meeting her.

Lucia is a dating expert unlike any other. She coined the phrase P.T.D.D. (post traumatic dating disorder) along with her “Minefield Theory” (dating is like walking across a minefield) and “Yellow Flag/Orange Flag Theory” (your personal dating alert). She makes no apologies for her belief that people who crave happy, healthy relationships need to learn to take care of their selves first and rely on logic rather than emotion in order to be successful with the opposite sex.

Clearly, whatever she is doing, works. With over 20 years experience on the relationship market, Lucia has dated men of all nationalities in six cities, four countries and two continents. Her practical know-how makes her the perfect candidate to dispense relationship advice—after all, in almost every dating dilemma she has “been there, done that” and lived to tell about it.

Lucia offers people the ultimate package as a relationship advice expert—she is old enough to have “in the field” experiences to draw from, but remains young enough to relate to the dilemmas today's youth face when navigating through the increasingly complicated world of modern romance. She often likes to quote that, “Experience is the best teacher, but the tuition is very costly”.

Tempered by her light-hearted ability to laugh at the absurdities of life and an upbeat nature, Lucia believes love should “empower, inspire, uplift and enlighten”.
