L'Italia e' la mia passione! Italy is my passion. For over thirty years, I've used my insider knowledge of Venice, Lake Como, Florence, Tuscany, Rome and the Amalfi Coast to guide my clients through the beauty and thrill of Italian travel. Whether your interests are history, culture, art, wine, Italian cuisine, museums or shopping, my personal touch will make your Italian adventure more rewarding. I'll customize the perfect itinerary for you by helping you select the right hotels and by arranging private drivers, guides, interviews with art historians, and special access to museums and shops. If you like, I can arrange a private tour of the Vatican and the Sistine Chapel, introduce you to a wine expert in Tuscany, or get you special discounts at a leather store in Florence. From my more than 70 trips to most of the regions of Italy, including living and working in Rome, I've developed dozens of contacts with specialty shop owners, museum operators, private guides and hotel managers, all of which affords me an in-depth knowledge of Italy's hidden treasures that I'll make available to you everywhere on your journey. So, let me help design an Italian holiday that fits your unique interests and needs!

INSIDER TIP:THE WHITE TRUFFLE FESTIVAL IN San Miniato (Province of Pisa), every week end in November… If you love truffles, this is for you! Take the train from Florence, then a bus to this ancient hilltop town. This is not truffle hunting, it is truffle eating! It’s an amazing experience for Truffle lovers. Don’t miss exploring San Miniato during the rest of the year. It is a charming, uncrowded Tuscan town.
