One Hundred Years Later in Florence

After finding my roots in the tiny fishing village of Lacco Ameno, Ischia, I became a dual citizen and was beckoned to live in the country that my family had to abandon in 1904. They would never live to know that their dream would be fulfilled through their children. They would never live to know that a century and three generations later, the circle would be completed, returning one of their children back, to love as they never could, the land that was once theirs.

Bike Tour Abetone

Another day guiding a private custom luxury bike tour with our clients from Chicago, riding along the course of the Gran Fondo Prato-Abetone, a magnificent climb in the mountains north of Lucca. After dropping off our clients at their villa in Lucca, Dominick ( the owner of Best Tuscan Tours), Roberto (owner of the van service), and Paulo (the other tour guide) and I chatted and found a local trattoria where we lunched over spaghetti together. As we continued on to Florence, Dominick asked me if I could guide a 5-day tour in Siena and a 1 day tour in Chianti. Va bene!!!!
