Dear Friend of Italy,

My name is Pietro Navarra and after living for over 30 years in Italy I de-cided to fulfill a dream to live in the US and open my Company, Pietro’sItaly, based in Beverly Hills, which collaborates with professional expe-rienced bilingual team players located in New York, Rome and Naples.

Travelling across the States and meeting with hundreds of people I ack-nowledge the importance of having on the territory a bilingual experienced

Mr. Italy in order to help you create unique itineraries.I grew up with the passion for Italy and my curiositybrought me to visit all the Regions and understand in de-tail the differences within the Italian Culture. Since thetime of the ancient Romans, Italians have congregated incenters of economic and cultural activity. Many Italianschoose to live in cities, towns and villages, where, undera kindly sun, everyday life takes to the cobbled streets,

haggling at the open markets and people watching at the sidewalk caféscan become the highlight of the day. History, Food, Wine, unforgettablesceneries and Fashion are only a few ingredients that can make your ho-liday an experience of a lifetime.Pietro’s Italy team players are able to create wonderful itineraries withselected amazing properties for individuals, families and friends.Just send an email at [email protected] with your idea of a perfectvacation and you will receive a customized itinerary.Arrivederci!

Pietro Navarra
