Gather your favourite people and discover a different side of Italy
Umbria | Le Marche | Sicilia
Dear Italian dreamer,
Every story begins somewhere.
Mine began with family, heritage and a deep connection to Italy. Over the years, the experiences, friendships and discoveries that became part of my own story are now woven into the journeys I share with you.
Yours may begin with a group of friends, a family gathering, a special occasion or simply a shared curiosity to experience Italy differently and privately.
Tell me a little about your group, your preferred travel period and any ideas you may already have.
Together, we’ll begin shaping your own Italian story.
And if you’d prefer to begin with a conversation, my door is always open. Pour a glass of vino, gather your thoughts and curiosities, and let’s explore the possibilities together.
For now, all you need is an idea and the people you would like beside you.
some moments are meant to be shared
Not every journey is about the destination – often, it’s about the people beside you.
Perhaps it’s a milestone birthday. A long-awaited reunion. A gathering of sisters, cousins or lifelong friends. A celebration of retirement, friendship or family.
And sometimes, it’s simply the feeling that life moves quickly, and there has never been a better time to create memories together.
The most meaningful journeys are rarely about ticking off sights. They are about sharing experiences, stories and moments that become part of your collective history.
When travelling together, there is comfort in knowing these moments have been thoughtfully shaped by someone who knows the region intimately.
Close local relationships allow me to open doors to experiences that reveal a deeper side of Umbria, Le Marche or Sicilia.
A Journey Inspired by
Your Interests
While each private journey follows the thoughtful approach that defines Italy in My Pocket, no two groups are ever quite the same.
Perhaps your group would enjoy learning the art of hand printing from an artisan in Le Marche whose workshop has remained in the family for seven generations. Or spending an afternoon cooking at a 17th-century family villa before gathering beneath ancient trees around the table together.
You may find yourselves truffle hunting through the Umbrian countryside, sharing a sunset wine tasting with a family whose vineyards stretch across the slopes of Mount Etna in Sicilia, or meeting the people who continue to shape these regions through their craft, traditions and way of life.
Through these experiences, I can place greater emphasis on the people, places and traditions that I believe will resonate most with your group, while preserving the balance and flow that make these journeys so memorable.
Together, we’ll shape a journey inspired by the interests, curiosities and personalities of your group, creating something that feels distinctly your own.

By your side from
beginning to end
Creating a meaningful journey for family and friends involves far more than choosing where to stay or what to see.
I’ll take the time to understand your group, your pace and what you’d like this time together to feel like, whether you’re drawn to – Umbria, Le Marche or Sicilia.
From the moment your journey begins, I’ll be by your side, helping translate not only the language, but also the stories, customs and relationships that make these encounters meaningful. Over the years, many of the artisans, cultivators and local families who welcome us have become cherished friends, making each introduction all the more personal
While you focus on sharing the experience with those beside you, I’ll ensure the journey unfolds just as it should. The planning, coordination and countless details behind the journey will rest with me — from carefully selecting charming historic properties and arranging my trusted private driver to securing traditional restaurants, artisan experiences and memorable local encounters that would be difficult to discover alone.
Along the way, you’ll be introduced to the local characters who bring these regions to life. All that’s left for you to do is arrive and enjoy the experience together.
