Salve, buongiorno, welcome!

I’m delighted you’re here, and look forward to inspiring your next journey.

Travel has long been my passion. At 18, I embarked on my first journey to Europe, studying art and business in Rome. Living in Trastevere, I spent my days wandering cobblestone streets, immersing myself in world-class museums, and savoring Italy’s extraordinary cuisine. That experience sparked a lasting connection to Italy, and a lifelong love of travel.

 

Since then, I’ve explored 30+ countries, with a defining chapter unfolding in 2016. After a decade in New York’s marketing industry, I was required to take a six-month garden leave between roles. What began as time off became a period of meaningful exploration: teaching kindergarten in the Philippines, tutoring English in Italy, and quietly shaping what would become Piccoli Adventures.

It was also during this time that I met my now-husband, Massi. After this period, I returned to NYC for 2 more years, then moved back to Italy, where I lived along the Adriatic coast, obtained Italian citizenship through my ancestry, and planned our wedding. In September 2019, we were married near husband's hometown in a Renaissance church, celebrating afterward in a nearby castle.

Today, I design bespoke journeys around the world. Each individual client's tastes and preferences are at the center of the curated itineraries I create - whether this mean private tours, family heritage exploration, immersive culinary experiences, refined five-star hotels, or distinctive, design-forward accommodations.
