The People Behind ItalyA local eye.
A local eye.
A personal connection.
Behind Italy was founded by Francesca Boldrini, a travel designer and licensed guide based in Tuscany. Her starting point is a conversation: what brings you to Italy, what holds your attention, and how you want to spend your time.
Guides, makers, hosts and producers are selected around each brief. Florence and Tuscany are our foundation; other Italian destinations are developed around the needs of each project.
