I’m originally from Italy and have spent years helping travellers plan their trips across the country through my instagram page @friendinitaly - from iconic destinations like Rome, Florence, and the Amalfi Coast to lesser-known places that most tourists completely miss.

After moving to the United States four years ago, I realized how difficult it can be to truly understand how to travel in Italy without local insight. That’s why I started helping people plan smarter, more authentic trips - not just following generic itineraries, but creating experiences that actually fit their travel style.

I’ve helped hundreds of travellers with practical advice on transportation, timing, hidden spots, and how to avoid common mistakes that can ruin a trip. I also guide people on how to move efficiently between cities, how many days to spend in each destination, and which cities to choose for a first trip to Italy.

Whether you're visiting Italy for the first time or coming back for something deeper, I can help you make the most of your time.

Most people ask me which cities and experiences they shouldn’t miss on their trip to Italy. The country offers so much to see that trying to fit everything into one trip can quickly become overwhelming, especially if you’re not sure how to structure your itinerary, how much time to spend in each place, or how to move efficiently from one destination to another.
Based on this, I provide personalized, practical guidance to help you plan your trip to Italy efficiently and avoid common mistakes. I specialize in:

• City and experience selection based on your priorities
