About Your Italian Guide
More Than a Brand. A Love Letter to Italy.
I created Your Italian Guide to help travelers experience Italy through its soul — not through a checklist.
This is a space for those who want to go deeper: to understand the stories, the art, and the heartbeat that make this country timeless.
CIAO, I’M CARLA - YOUR ITALIAN GUIDE
Born in Italy. In Love With Its Stories.
I was born and raised in Italy — surrounded by art, history, and landscapes that shaped how I see the world.
Over the years, I realized that most travelers come here wanting to see everything, but rarely experience the real Italy — the one found in quiet streets, family-run trattorias, frescoed chapels, and ancient echoes hidden in plain sight.
That’s why I created Your Italian Guide:
to share the Italy I know — the one that blends beauty with meaning, grandeur with simplicity, and the past with the present.
For me, Italy isn’t just a destination; it’s a living tapestry of stories — of artists and poets, craftsmen and dreamers, places where every stone holds a whisper of history.
I wanted to build a space that celebrates that essence, and that helps travelers connect with it in a thoughtful, human way.
Every itinerary, map, and resource is created to help you travel slower, notice the details others overlook, and experience this country with curiosity, emotion, and reverence.
Through Your Italian Guide, I combine local insight with storytelling, design, and curation.

Travel Italy With Meaning, Not Momentum.
Your Italian Guide was born from a simple belief:
that travel is not about how much you see, but about how deeply you connect.

between curiosity and understanding, traveler and place.

A Boutique Approach to Travel Planning.
I’m not a tour operator, and I don’t believe in rushing through cities.
I believe in the art of travel: slowing down, listening, tasting, observing.
I create travel experiences that feel like stories — guided by knowledge, designed with beauty, and lived with heart.
That’s why every itinerary and map is:
Designed by a local who lives and breathes Italy
