Hi, I am Ilaria Ippoliti, and I founded Piccolo Centro.
Working in the wine and food industry helped me recognize my talent for generating wonderful travel experiences. I was sought after by both corporate and individual clients who needed assistance in organizing their trips to Italy.
Customers valued my first-hand experience, expertise in identifying non-touristy locations, and my talent for creating bespoke experiences that facilitated interactions with the locals and provided a deeper understanding of Italy.
