Experience Italy

It's that time of year when Italian Culinary Tours starts to share wonders of Italy with our guests. We started in Sicily again this year with a new specialty tour of Western Sicily, designed by my ever-creative and imaginative associate, Ottavia Fasce and myself, based in our families’ hometown of Montelepre.

It was late afternoon just before my citizenship ceremony with the mayor of Montelepre when, my associate and friend Ottavia, my Citizenship Advisor, Francesco, and I headed to the historic Norman-era tower in the city center for a tour with Vice Mayor Giusi Ciulla. After all the years visiting my family in Montelepre, I had never visited inside the tower.

Ever since the first time I arrived in Sicily, I wanted to explore the many islands that surround it. As time passed, I would hear my family members and many other Sicilians talk about the beauty of these islands…

It is so much fun for me to host guests who are from my former life as a banker. I’ve had former co-workers, clients, and other contacts from my past days join me on several of our tours over the years.
