Hello, I’m Amy…
I’ve been drawn to the magic of Italy since I was a child.
Over the past 30 years, I’ve explored Italy through the lens of slow travel, savoring every moment, every taste, and every experience.
My connection to Italy runs deep. I come from Italian heritage and my husband, Alfredo, was born in Genoa, Italy. We’ve spent countless moments immersing ourselves in Italy’s lifestyle and culture, from the serenity of our second home in Lucca to the bustling streets of Rome.
From obtaining Italian citizenship to hosting weekly Italian Sunday dinners for our extended family. Italy is not just a place I visit–it’s a part of who I am.
After witnessing the disappointment of traditional fast-paced tourism, I was inspired to start Away To Italy. My mission? To help travelers curate an authentic trip to experience the true essence of Italy – a place where you can simply be, and enjoy the good life.
