“Italy is a dream that keeps returning for the rest of your life.”
— Anna Akhmatova




Everybody falls in love with Italy.

For many, the moment will happen on the streets of Rome, the beaches of Sicily or the colourful coastal retreats of Amalfi. It may be over pizza in Napoli or on that rainy day in Milan.

Our Italian love story however, started on a road trip through the lesser known region of Puglia.

And it’s a love that will endure.
