From a countryside villa in Tuscany to the cliffs of the Amalfi Coast, this trip was all about la dolce vita. We explored medieval hill towns, hiked the Path of the Gods, learned to make pasta from a nonna in Cortona, and spent golden hours swimming in the Tyrrhenian Sea. Every dinner was a multi-hour affair with local wine, fresh pasta, and the kind of conversation that lasts long after the plates are cleared.
