C U S T O M I TA L I A N VAC AT I O N S

To truly experience Italy — from mountain to sea, from ancient to modern, from dawn to dusk and through the glorious night — you must experience it with

all five of your senses. Since 1996, Joyce Falcone has been delivering that experience, creating custom itineraries for individuals, families, couples, and groups.

SEE

SEEBelow your hotel balcony passes a regatta of gondole

on the Grand Canale. The crowd, masked and costumed, dances and waves banners to mark the start of Carnivale in Venezia.

It is a visual feast unlike anything on Earth — colorful, vibrant, and alive.

SMELLThe fresh breeze wafts down a country lane near Zibello,

and carries with it the scent of basil and rosemary freshly picked by the chef preparing your lunch. Or in Alba, in the crowded

Fiera del Tartufo, the air is thick with the earthy elegance of white truffle fresh from the ground.

HEARHear nothing but the sound of a Lucie boat, gliding

over the water of Lago di’Como, or spend an evening listening to a performance of Euripides’ tragedy

Baccanti, in Siracausa’s 5th-century BC Greek theatre.

TOUCHItaly is always at your fingertips, in the whisper of the silks

on an antique couch in Toscana and hand-woven damask from Lorisca, or in the crispness of Amatruda paper, handmade

on the Amalfi Coast since the 13th century.

TASTE

TASTEOf all the senses, it is taste that gets the most exercise in Italy.

From a robust farmhouse meal, to a perfect pairing of friulano with baccala mantecato served in a Venetian bacaro dating from

1462, there is a culinary epiphany at every table.

Joyce Falcone is consistently recognized as a top destination specialist for Italy by the editors of Travel+Leisure and Condé Nast Traveler.
