NOT JUST ANOTHER TRAVEL CHECKLIST
Redefining what it means to travel Italy — with art, history, and soul.
Most travel sites show you what stops to make, but little on why they matter.
I live in Italy. I know the stories behind the stones, the art behind the walls, the rhythm of everyday life.
With Your Italian Guide, you don’t just visit — you experience, you understand, you remember.

Meet Your Italian Guide
Ciao! I'm Carla
the human behind Your Italian Guide.
Italy isn’t just where I live — it’s part of who I am.
I grew up surrounded by its art, walking through its ruins, and learning the stories behind its stones.
Over the years, I realized that most travelers see only a fraction of what Italy truly is.
They rush from place to place, checking boxes — but they miss the soul that makes this land unforgettable.
That’s why I created Your Italian Guide: to help travelers slow down and see Italy the way I see it — through its history, its poetry, its art, and its everyday beauty.
I want you to understand the stories behind the places you visit, to feel connected to centuries of creativity and culture, and to leave with a deeper love for this country than you ever imagined.
If you believe travel should be more than sightseeing — that it should be transformative — then you’re in the right place.
