John and Nancy Petralia

After living a year in Italy we were encouraged to write a book. To our surprise, Not in a Tuscan Villa became an Amazon bestseller in Travel Italy, snd so our travel writing career began.

We like traveling with a purpose, giving readers not just a travelog of places, but insights about the country, the culture, and the story of why we're there.

We look for the unique and the undiscovered. Whether it's surprising, embarrassing, poignant, or laughable, our readers always say, "I was there with you."

Come share our adventures!
