Can moving to Italy change more than your address? 🇮🇹

When Dustin and Luigi left Toronto for Abruzzo in 2024, they weren’t just looking for a different place to live—they were searching for a different way to live.

In this clip from our latest “Italy Answered” podcast, they share how finding community in a small town, embracing a slower pace, and dreaming of a “B&B Artistico” helped redefine what success means.

Sometimes, the places we least expect become the ones that feel most like home.

There’s something about a Tuscan summer that slows everything down. Golden light through the cypress trees, umbrella pines reaching toward the sky, and the kind of quiet that reminds you to simply be.

If your happy place is somewhere under the Italian sun, this one’s for you. 🇮🇹☀️

Where is your happy place?

Every great wine begins with a place. 🍷

When we sat down with Federico Bricolo, President of Veronafiere, during the .official Miami Preview, our conversation naturally turned to one of the most exciting developments in Italian travel: wine tourism.

As wineries across Italy continue to expand their hospitality experiences, they're becoming more than places to taste exceptional wines—they're becoming destinations where travelers can connect with the landscapes, traditions and communities behind every bottle.

That idea resonates deeply with us at and reflects the spirit of our upcoming "A Taste of Place" Wine & Food Guide, where we'll continue exploring how food and wine create meaningful connections to Italy's regions.

The conversation continues at Vinitaly.USA, returning to New York on October 26–27.

A Taste of Place isn’t just our theme—it’s our philosophy.
