“Tuscany is the perfect communion between what God made, and what Man did with it.”
Becky traveled extensively from a very young age. She had the opportunity to live in Europe, work for an international airline, and has a close family history that links her forever to her beloved country of Italy. Her maternal Grandfather was born and raised in Rome, and her Grandmother from Sulmona, about 3 hours east of the Eternal City. Being raised in a large Italian family instilled an appreciation and passion for all things Italian, and she wants to share this beautiful country, and especially the Tuscan region, with everyone.
