Storywalking
Storywalking sprang from Jessica Proietti’s yearlong exploration of Italy top to bottom, delving into unusual urban and rural attractions, sights, crafts, workshops, kitchens - out-of-the-way places that tourism generally ignores. With tours throughout Italy, Storywalking operates under the premise that most people prefer unhurried, satisfying immersive experiences to viewing Italy from a van! Guided by personable experts, clients come to know Italy’s creative heart and passionate soul, exploring its nooks and crannies while listening to commentary and stories that bring places to life. Details are everything in this anecdotal approach. It leans more to illuminating the present and the past and less to recitations of building dimensions, dates and genealogies.

Here’s some comments I made during the trip: Capri, Pretty good. Wish I had more info about the boat. Very choppy after heavy breakfast and sore back but made it through. Got in a swim and spent an hour on Capri which was too touristy for me. Expensive and crowded. Paolo was a great guy but we had no idea it would be a small boat with just the two of us. Had a rough time doing... Read more
