Italy awaits, and I am your ideal partner! I am a travel specialist with years of experience seeped in the wonder, laughter, and joy of growing up in a Sicilian-American family.
My passion and zest for travel came to me very early and quite naturally—surrounded by generations of family who inspired a curiosity about Italy in countless ways. As a young woman, I began a series of European trips, and my heart and family ties kept me returning to Italy time and time again.
Eventually, my varied experiences up and down the Italian peninsula led me to create Italian Escapes.
With my gioia di vivere and many years immersed in professional Italian trip planning, I bring a fresh, unique approach to the table. Over the years, I’ve cultivated a network of Italian contacts who share my passion for authentic experiences and hidden gems.
I craft poetic journeys specifically tailored to your dreams and desires. Nothing beats an escape to Italy with me!
