Ciao & Welcome to Italy Tours with Mauro!

I have been involved in the Tour Industry for over 13 years now and look forward to sharing my Beautiful country, it's food, it's traditions and of course it's values on life with all of you.

Before entering into the Tour Industry I had spent 15 years in the area of Italian culinary adventures. I have first hand knowledge to share with each of you regarding the different regions, their food, wines, cheeses and tasty treats on the side like olive oil, balsamic and the art of truffles! Not to mention the best Gelato in each hilltop town inside and out of Rome.

I'm originally from the Eastern side of Italy on the Adriatic Sea, a region called Puglia. So I am no stranger to the best beaches, sea food and nature that Italy has to offer as well.

I am young, energetic, fun spirited, honest and most of all always on time. I look forward to having an adventure with you and yours soon!

This morning you will depart for Bomarzo, a town of the province of Viterbo, in the lower valley of the Tiber
The origins of this charming town in north Lazio dates back to the Etruscan era but it is known primarily for the wondrous Parco dei Mostri.
Designed by Renaissance architect Pirro Ligorio, this "park of monsters" features grotesque mythological sculptures and fountains, including the much-photographed Orcus and the leaning house.
Later we will visit the Umbrian town of Orvieto, a small city perched on a rock cliff in Umbria and we will explore the Etruscan city with all of the underground trails and Orvieto classic wine.
The Duomo di Orvieto dating from 1290, has a mosaic facade and houses a marble Pietà sculpture.
The Pozzo di San Patrizio is a 16th-century well shaft with a double spiral staircase.
An underground cave network attests to the city's Etruscan roots.
Artifacts from this era, like ceramics and bronze items, are on view at the National Archaeological Museum.
