Imagine sitting by that lake sipping prosecco and gazing up at the mountains overlooking the village.

Sassi Pottery

In addition to being a fantastic person to guide you around Italy, Doug Sassi has you covered on those Father’s Day gifts you should have already ordered!  Let us know if you have a dad that would appreciate a mug, a platter, a cigar ashtray, a lamp, etc. made by hand by the master himself.

The View From Piemonte

One of the places we’re going during the “Fall Special” is in the little village of Sinio; imagine waking up every day and going to work here.  Not bad, eh?

Another Sassi Drawing Masterpiece

Portrait commission recently completed by Raphael.  Want to learn to draw like this?  Well, that’ll be tough as Raphael is a true master, but hey, we can certainly help you get started on the learning curve.  In Italy no less!

 

Leaving Venice Via Water Taxi

Getting a cab, Venetian style.  Though it’s always a bittersweet moment to be leaving Venice, a great way to get to Venice Marco Polo to catch your flight home is via water taxi; they pick you up canal side, and you get one last waterborne view of Venice’s majesty as you say goodbye for now to La Serenissima.  Enjoy the view with us!

Bagnoregio

A city upon a hill in the truest sense.  Follow the link for a series of shots of this amazing little village via drone.  What an amazing place, and just an hour northwest of Rome, give or take.
