Where travel becomes personal, handcrafted experiences across Italy that value connection over crowds
We are truly happy to share that The Florentine, leading news magazine for English speakers in Florence, recently featured KissFromItaly and our founder Andrea Barsotti.
The article captures something we have always believed in: travel is not just about ticking off destinations. At its best, it’s about connection: between cultures, people, and places, and sometimes even between different moments in our own lives.

A More Personal Way to Experience Italy
From the very beginning, KissFromItaly was built around a simple idea: experiences should feel personal.
Not rushed, not standardized, and not designed for large groups moving from one stop to the next. Instead, we focus on private and carefully crafted journeys that allow you to experience Italy at your own pace, in your own way.
This approach naturally leads to something else we care deeply about: sustainability.
When travel is more personal, it becomes more respectful. Smaller, private experiences reduce pressure on overcrowded sites, support local communities, and create a more balanced way of discovering Italy. It’s about enjoying the places while respecting the environment and the communities.
The Story Behind KissFromItaly
The article also shares the story of our founder, Andrea Barsotti, whose background between Boston and Florence shaped the vision of the company.
Growing up between cultures created a natural sensitivity to what travelers are really looking for, not just beautiful places, but experiences that feel genuine and thoughtfully designed.
That perspective continues to guide everything we do today.
Experiences Designed Around You
Over the years, KissFromItaly has expanded to offer private experiences across the country, including:
- Private boat tours on the Amalfi Coast and Capri
- Exclusive wine and food experiences in Tuscany and beyond
- Cultural tours in cities like Rome, Florence, and Venice
- Tailor-made itineraries combining multiple destinations
Each itinerary is different, because each traveler is.
A Feature That Feels Meaningful
Being featured by The Florentine means a lot to us, not just as recognition, but because the article truly reflects how we see travel.
It’s not about offering more. It’s about offering something that feels right: more personal, more thoughtful, and ultimately more memorable.
