Ciò che siamo
The I for Italia Travel Club was created by Stefano, a former National Geographic tour leader who was born and raised in Italy and moved to Mount Pleasant about 4 years ago. With this group, Stefano intends to create a community of Italy lovers in the Charleston area who are passionate about authentic travel in Italy.
Join this group if you passionately love the Bel Paese and its art, history, food, wine, nature, and culture. Join this group if you love speaking Dante's poetic language. Join this group if you want to be part of a community committed to exploring, learning, and furthering its love for Italia. Lastly, join this group if you plan to travel to Italy in the most authentic and special way.
At I for Italia events, we will arrange cooking classes, wine tastings, and cultural events, practice our Italian, and talk about Italy travel!
