Travel helps you step out of your comfort zone and into the beauty of the present moment. Italy is a place where life is hard but there is so much pride in the work, stories, and history you’ll come to learn. Learn how to make the pasta you’ll later enjoy, gaze up at the magnificent architecture of the Duomo, and allow your mind to wander back in time by experiencing the effort and love local artisans put into their work… Truly Italy will take you on an adventure to see the work Italians put into every aspect of their lives - not just for tourists, but for the love of their land. The fruits and delicacies Italy has to offer the world are bountiful.
​
This is not sightseeing. When you travel with Truly Italy, you’ll have a guide on this immersive experience. From trying authentic Italian cuisine to visiting places that you won’t find on a map, I can’t wait to show you travel that feeds your soul.

Meet Kate, your Italy Experience Guide!
I’m an Italian-American with a deep love and reverence for all things Italy!
I spent 20 years living part-time in Florence, 4.5 of those years as a full-time resident. During that time, I became fluent in Italian and dedicated myself to understanding local culture and to finding places that personify the people and the land. In 2013, I moved back home to Chicago with my Florentine husband, Stefano. We knew we wanted to share Italy, the way we know it, with the rest of the world.
