Welcome To Away To Italy!
Ciao! I’m Amy, and my connection to Italy runs deep – through both heritage and heart. As an Italian-American married to Alfredo, who was born in Italy, I’ve had the unique privilege of experiencing Italy not just as a traveler, but as part of an Italian family.
For 30 years, I’ve been discovering the intimate details of Italian life – from morning coffee customs to evening passeggiata traditions. Now, splitting time between our home in the US and our second home in Lucca, I experience Italy through a special lens: as both insider and outsider, as family member and cultural bridge.
Through countless Sunday lunches with our Italian family, and decades of navigating both cultures, I’ve gathered the kind of insights that can only come from living between two worlds.
My wish is that Away To Italy will transform how you experience Italy by:
- Understanding daily rituals and traditions
- Learning authentic cultural customs
- Discovering local secrets and insights
- Creating Italian moments at home
- Planning more meaningful travels
Whether you’re dreaming of your next Italian adventure or wanting to bring La Dolce Vita into your daily life, I’m here to help you discover the heart of Italian living.
“La Dolce Vita isn’t just about being in Italy – it’s about living with Italian spirit, wherever you are.”
