Embark with us on an intimate voyage into the heart of Italy's cultural tapestry, guided by Phil Micali of Philitaly. We weave through the narratives of Phil's ancestors,  in regions steeped in tradition and history. The discovery of our roots takes on new meaning as we traverse the landscape of Molise, Basilicata, and Sicily, diving into the emotional odyssey that is genealogical exploration. Phil's personal journey, set against the backdrop of family tragedy, imparts a profound appreciation for the bonds that connect us to our cultural ancestors and the richness of our collective heritage.

Travel afar with us to Italy's hidden corners where the true essence of Italian culture thrives. From the artistry of cheese making in Agnone to the thrill of truffle hunting in Molise, these stories stir the soul of the traveler seeking authenticity beyond the well-trodden paths. We discuss the enduring presence of Italian American communities, forged from historical migrations, and how they've sculpted places like Denver with their unique skills and traditions. Revel in the heartfelt encounters and the artisanal crafts that bring the spirit of Italy to life, a testament to the enduring allure of its people and their passion for preserving a diverse heritage.

As we close, listen in for an exclusive invitation to join Phil on a cultural odyssey to Italy and Argentina. His October group expedition is not just a journey across continents, but a bridge connecting the vibrant histories and flavors of two lands shaped by Italian influence. With only a handful of seats left, we're eager to share this adventure with you, providing an ensemble of experiences that promise to be as enriching as they are unforgettable. Join us and discover the profound connections and enchanting stories that await within the Italian heart, and perhaps, within your own.

Turnkey. The only thing you’ll lift are your spirits.
