About Donna & Federico
Donna began her romance with Italy (and one particular Italian) on a study abroad program. What started as a short semester turned into a 35 year love affair with il Bel Paese. Her professional life centers on cross-cultural understanding through university teaching, exchange programs and culinary exploration to the delight of family and friends.
Federico teaches intercultural communication at the University of Siena and makes documentary films on how the cultures of different countries intersect. With degrees from both Italian and American universities, he is able to understand and share perspectives on what makes Italy unique.
Since the Seventies Donna and Federico have alternated living in Italy and in the USA. This has enabled them to keep up with the culture and the customs of both countries, so that they can satisfy any need or curiosity of the most demanding travelers.
“If you need to plan a trip to Italy, or if you simply want to deepen your knowledge of this country, you will not be disappointed by the guidance and advice that Donna and Federico will be happy to give you.
