Summer of 2022 in Italy has been intense! The country was inundated with tourists from around the globe, and even though it was chaotic (and HOT), the Italians were grateful for the business after the long Covid lockdown. Everyone in the hospitality industry worked harder than they ever had, yet were still gracious, patient and welcoming. What a testament to the country's fortitude. With the fall season fast approaching, that means cooler temperatures, less tourists and enjoying a meal that you didn't have to reserve 2 months in advance. We are also including an interview with two women who joined us on a small group trip last fall. Listen to what they appreciated about enjoying a fantastic time where they didn't have to do a thing except show up! Andiamo a bel'italia!
