Authentic Italy Information

Authentic Italy is a luxury travel company with a passion for sharing Italy's dynamic culture and spectacular foods and wines. We are trusted leaders in experiential luxury travel. Gary Portuesi, Managing Director and owner of Authentic Italy, fell in love with Italy at an early age when he and his family made yearly trips to their native land. Spending summers in Sicily and exploring the northern, central and southern regions through the years, Gary realized that the American idea of Italy fell decidedly short of the real deal. That’s when he was struck by an idea: why not allow people to experience the real Italy? Today, the Authentic Italy family has expanded and continues to grow. Our expert travel consultants customize visits for families, groups of friends, business associates, individuals, and couples. We are on a mission to seek out the most unforgettable upscale experiences for your interests—from breathtaking accommodations to world-renowned restaurants to exclusive sightseeing excursions and more.
