I for Italia

27/07/2026

70% of Italy’s visitors see just 1% of the country. I spent 10 years guiding tours inside that 1%.

My name is Stefano. I grew up in Ciociaria, an hour south of Rome. I spent a decade guiding travelers with G Adventures and National Geographic Journeys, and almost none of them met the Italy I knew.

Today I live in Charleston, and this is my mission: planning trips to the other 99%. The small towns, the long lunches, the people who still ask “ma tu di chi sei figlio?”

If you’ve been to Italy and felt like you missed something, you probably did. Follow along, I’ll show you what it was. Andiamo! 🇮🇹

Parma, Città d’Arte. We will never stop repeating this. All of Italy is Beautiful. All of it. Don’t limit yourself to the 1% of Italy that 70% of travelers visit. Do you research, or have us share with you what are our favorite places are. For a small northern Italian city, Parma has mind blowing art. At the Galleria Nazionale, you can admire masterpieces from Correggio, Parmigianino and Leonardo da Vinci. The city’s Duomo is free and offers a Correggio painted dome. The city under the last Duchess Maria Luigia also gained a refined, french touch, earning the nickname of Little Paris. Most importantly, Parma represents the Italy we love the most. A small sized town with a University, many artisanal boutiques, excellent restaurants (Parma is the capital of Gastronomy after all - even recognized by Unesco), and a quintessential, charming, easy going vibe. Parma is beautiful to visit, to admire, to smell, to taste. Parma is one of those places that after you visit it, it leaves you as a better, enriched person.
