Carolina Orlandi is an Italian journalist and writer, a storyteller whose work centers on reportage and the human stories behind justice cases. Born in Siena, Tuscany, on 31 July 1992, she studied Communication and Journalism at the University of Siena before attending the Holden School in Turin, where she specialized in narrative techniques.

Her literary debut, Se tu potessi vedermi ora. La storia di David Rossi raccontata da chi gli era accanto (If You Could See Me Now, Mondadori, 2018), is a memoir about David Rossi, former head of communications at Monte dei Paschi di Siena and her mother's partner.
