What Makes Esperienza Different?

It starts with Pennabilli, or Verucchio, or one of many other small, enchanting hilltop towns in Emilia Romagna. With their breathtaking beauty, unique artistic history, welcoming shops and restaurants, this lesser-known region simply exudes Italian warmth and charm.

Beyond these towns and villages, there’s the remarkable surrounding countryside. Sprinkled throughout are all the art, culture, history and cuisine one expects to find in Italy. But there’s also an astounding array of unexpected wonders: orchards nurturing rare fruits, a world-famous cooking school, off-the-beaten-path museums, the number-one-rated restaurant in the world (according to Michelin), the list goes on and on.

Perhaps most importantly, Esperienza will bring you closer to Italian farmers, chefs, artists and townspeople in an authentic, immersive experience like no other. At the same time, your presence and participation make a significant difference, energizing the economic health of this wonderful community.

Travel with Esperienza, or try one of our unique virtual experiences. You won’t be disappointed.
