Some travel advisors specialize in Italy. I live it.

I split my time between the United States and my home in Lucca, Tuscany — and I have been exploring this country for more than 35 years.

Not as a tourist passing through, but as someone who keeps going deeper, discovering more, and falling in love with it all over again.

Because no two visions are the same.

I love hearing what people dream of and making it real — down to every last detail.
