Thrill of Italy | Experience Italy with authenticity.

Our Story

As the founder of Thrill of Italy, I wanted to share a little bit about my story and the inspiration behind creating this venture.

I was fortunate enough to be born in the beautiful region of Tuscany to parents whose adventurous spirits led them to meet while volunteering in India. My father, a native of Carrara – the only place on earth with that stunning stainless white marble – and my mother, from Newport Beach, California, instilled in me a love for exploration from a very young age. Growing up as a third-culture kid, travel was an integral part of my childhood. We moved frequently throughout Italy due to my parents' volunteer work, living in vibrant cities like Naples, historic Rome, picturesque Pisa, and coastal Massa, and even spending some time in Ukraine. My childhood in Italy was truly magical. I have cherished memories of Sundays spent at my Nonna's table, enjoying incredible feasts and learning the art of hand-rolling gnocchi – experiences I wouldn't trade for anything.

As a young adult, I embarked on my own solo adventures at the age of 18 and have since explored over 100 countries. Travel has been an incredible teacher, offering me invaluable perspective and expanding my understanding of the world. Most importantly, it led me to discover my true passion: sharing the beauty of our world with others. Despite all my travels, I always feel drawn back to Italy. In fact, the more I explore, the deeper my appreciation for Italy becomes. There truly is no place quite like it. They say home is where the heart is, and my heart has never left Italy. Now, I dedicate my life to sharing my deep love for the Italian way of life, the dolce vita.
