Why Italian culture fascinates the world
Italian culture revolves mainly around family and food, both representing love, tradition, and the joy of being together.
One of the main reasons why Italian culture fascinates the entire world is the importance of family, of course. Family not only intended as the blood ties between individuals but also in the sense of true friendships and conviviality.
The family viewed as a symbol of common interests, lifestyles and values. Meeting at a restaurant, at a park, at the seaside or at a bar to eat, to talk or to just simply be together is pure authentic Italian culture. A lot of our travel bespoke experiences around Italy are designed with the main idea of getting together and savoring Italian culture and traditions, like the locals do. Exclusive unmissable experiences in the bel paese, which will give you the unique chance to meet with locals and listen to their stories, to visit less-known locations and bucolic surroundings in the countryside, to discover the wonders of off-the-beaten path places far from the concept of mass tourism.
Another reason why Italy is famous all over the world is the love for food. Gathering around a table is one of our favorite sports. It’s true, we have to admit it.
Cooking is considered a true art that is passed on from generation to generation. And eating well, that's an art, too! We have different eating habits depending on the meal we are consuming. The important thing is to take the time to prepare the menu and use fresh and quality products. In the morning it's normally a light breakfast, which usually consists of coffee with biscuits or brioches (we say brioche in Northern Italy and cornetto in central/southern Italy), a sweet bread which can be empty inside or stuffed with an ingredient such as cream, marmelade or chocolate.
Grandmothers (the nonne) have a special place in the heart of every Italian family.
Not only because they cook with love but also because each food they prepare tells a tale (even the simplest one), evokes a memory of their childhood and represents a tradition passed down through generations. Nonne's recipes are more than just food; they transmit shared values, traditions and preserve precious family memories. Give yourself the opportunity to soak up the true essence of Italy by enjoying one of our experiences.
