About Me

updated June 29, 2025

I am known in the Society for Creative Anachronism as Baronessa  Ginevra Fiammetta di Silvestri (jin - EV - ruh fee - uh - MET - uh  dee seel - VESS - tree). My persona is a female courtesan (she/her/hers pronouns) living in Venice during the 16th century. I am an admin and proud member of the Knowne World Courtesans, a free confederation of people dedicated to promoting courtesan/sex worker personas in the SCA. I am passionate about learning, especially topics pertaining to historical gender and sexuality, and about exploring different ways to recreate the pre-17th century time periods we study. 

​

Modernly, I am called Emily. I am a cisgender woman and use she/her/hers pronouns. I am currently taking a break from holding baronial office after serving as my barony's Chancellor of Youth for several years. I have taught classes on a few different topics and served as autocrat for an event designed to promote the SCA to local people who might be interested in joining.
