Who Is Italiana Travel Design?
The U.S. Team
On one side of the Atlantic, we are an intentionally small team of highly skilled itinerary designers, planners, and consultants, led by our founder and all around Italophile, Liana.
She has personally been to over 400 cities and covered so many kilometers that she's been accused (more than once!) of breaking the odometer when returning a rental car!
On the other side of the pond?
That would be our industry-leading network of over 500 hand-selected local specialists throughout Italy. We're talking the best of the best when it comes to guides, drivers, chefs, dinner party hosts, farmers, artisans, master gardeners, musicians, gourmet food producers, jewelers, historians, sommeliers, art restorers...and the list goes on.
It's not easy to get an invitation to work with Italiana, so there's no doubt about it: our team is the best you could ever ask for.
Over the years, our team has truly become our extended family. We've laughed, cried, christened, traveled, troubleshot outrageous scenarios, and of course, shared the blessing of sitting at countless tables together.
We love them, and they know it. The feeling is mutual and simply can't help but be extended to you as well.
The Italy Team
The Best You Could Ever Ask For
What Sets Up Apart?
The Perfect Perspective
Our founder and lead design team are bilingual, dual American-Italian citizens whose personal travels over nearly two decades inform everything we do.
There's no doubt about it: we understand more than anyone what professional Americans want and expect when they travel...and we know exactly how to make that happen in our beloved Italy.
Beyond that, this is pretty mind-blowing to think about:
When we combine all of the years that all of our local specialists throughout Italy have been making dreams come true? Without any exaggeration, we're talking about thousands of total years of knowledge, experience, passion and pure love for this type of truly unique service.
We are incredibly proud of the fact that unlike most travel professionals bound to industry standards and suppliers, we are completely and totally independent.
We worked tirelessly to have enough trusted, expert-level personal connections to be able to work with whomever we choose, and are so proud to say that as a result, the back roads are the most familiar to us, and that avoiding crowds is one of our superpowers.
All in all, this means that we are free from the limitations and constraints inherent in larger travel companies and corporations - and that we can pass that freedom right on to you!
