WRITER

A writer and editor based in the Boston area, Alyssa Giacobbe penned this issue’s pieces on Fratelli and the design of the casino at Encore Boston Harbor. Her work has appeared in publications that include Architectural Digest, InStyle, Details, Self, and Women’s Health. “My family is from Everett, so I was interested to see how dramatically Encore Boston Harbor has changed the area (and it is a dramatic change; my dad said growing up, he didn’t even know Everett had a waterfront) but also happy to visit on ‘Everett Day,’ when residents were invited to have an early sneak peek, and I liked how involved and invested the community is.”
