What is genealogical research and why is it so fascinating?

Genealogical research is a journey through time! It’s not just about names and dates—it’s about discovering who you really are. By analyzing official records, church registries, and historical documents, we can rebuild your family’s story, trace your origins, and even connect you with long-lost relatives. It’s like solving a puzzle where every piece brings you closer to your past!

What is the best time to visit Italy?

It depends on what you’re looking for! Spring (April-June) and Fall (September-October) have the best weather and fewer crowds. Summer is perfect for the coast, while winter offers magical cityscapes and skiing opportunities.

What are some must-try authentic experiences in Italy?
  • Enhance your Italian experience with: Private food & wine tastings in historic wineries, Hands-on cooking classes with Italian chefs, Exploring hidden medieval villages, Vespa or vintage car tours through the countryside, and Private boat excursions along the Amalfi Coast or around the islands. To make these experiences even more personal, we can incorporate elements of your family research, utilizing ancestry sites to connect your adventures to your genealogy
