Letizia Pileggi was born in the ancient hillside town of Maida, Italy. A spirited child with restless curiosity, she grew up surrounded by olive groves, convent walls, and the watchful eyes of her family. From her earliest days, she knew she was meant for more.
Her life carried her across oceans and into the heart of America, where she carved her way forward with courage, resilience, and faith. Later, her path led her to India — a journey that reshaped her identity and brought her face to face with her divine calling.
Today, Letizia writes and speaks about freedom, resilience, and the courage to follow the call within. The Thought Itself is her debut memoir, a deeply personal and universal story of becoming.




Letizia Pileggi was born and raised in southern Italy in a traditional, close-knit family. After completing her studies, she made a bold move to North America, where she now resides. Her professional background is in business, but her true passion lies in human connection, service, and storytelling.
Letizia believes deeply in the power of community and the importance of lifting others as we climb. She is especially committed to empowering women and girls to find their voice, embrace their strength, and reach their full potential. Her global experiences and personal journey fuel her mission to make the world a more compassionate, inclusive place.
An avid traveler and adventurer, Letizia finds joy in exploring new cultures, playing tennis, golf, hiking, and giving back through leadership and philanthropy. She recently summited Mount Kilimanjaro and is writing a book that weaves her mountain journeys with her life’s transformation. After having reached Everest Base Camp, she is now dreaming even bigger—because for Letizia, the summit is only the beginning.
