Janna Brancolini is an American journalist based in Milan, Italy, where she is a correspondent for the Los Angeles Times and Bloomberg Industry Group. Her photos and essays have also appeared in the Columbia Journalism Review, Business Insider, and more. As a global journalist who loves working at intersections, she is drawn to stories where law meets politics, where the environment intersects with finance, where cultures clash, and where languages collide.

Born and raised in Indiana, Janna lived in California for almost a decade before moving to Italy in 2014 on a Fulbright fellowship. A graduate of the University of Southern California’s Annenberg School of Journalism and Loyola Law School, Los Angeles, she has lectured on journalism and law at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles and the University of Bologna in Italy.
