What a privilege to be guided through the old streets of Venice by a local. These streets hold stories which Marissa brought to life for us. We thoroughly enjoyed learning of the bead stringers of the past centuries and standing in the same streets hearing about their lifestyle. Marissa's tour was lively, fun, and with great photos to take at the quieter hours of the evening. Thanks for arranging the festival of St Pietro, loved seeing a local festival. Colin, Amanda, David

Giancarlo hosted an amazing day for me in his beautiful workshop. I was immediately made to feel at home and was able to prepare more than three methods for printing my own artwork. I especially loved engaging with the lithography and watching printing technique on the 400 year old press, and viewing artwork of Italian masters in the gallery. Students of art working peacefully in the studio were very helpful, a lovely community. I highly recommend a visit or a day of printing with Giancarlo. Very rewarding. Thank you for a fantastic Italian Story experience.
