Our Travels to Italy

Welcome to Italian Dreams, your ultimate Italy Travel Blog. Join us as we delve into our own personal experiences of the Italian culture and travel. A place that has captured our hearts and minds, inspiring us to return time after time.

At Italian Dreams, we are considered family for simply showing up. Italy brings us happiness and lightens our soul. Our fascination with Italy dates back over 30 years, starting with our first visit as a young 20-year-old eager to explore and experience a country and culture that was once only a dream.

As a first-generation Australian, our love for Italy was influenced by the stories and musings of our parents and grandparents, who shared tales of family, struggle, and hard work, all while showing deep respect for their heritage and distant cousins.

Many of our memories of Italy are deeply rooted in politics, such as witnessing presidential motorcades drive by in Rome, being in Rome after the death of Pope John Paul II, and being in Milan during the Paris attacks. These events have shaped the world and are intricately linked to the Italian way of life – a love for family, a joy for life, and a live-for-the-day mentality.
