Chi Siamo - About us:
 
 
 

Lorna and I would like to welcome you to our site dedicated to provide private tours to Northern Italy, as well as a one stop information site about this beautiful small town in the feet of the alps called Feltre. This ancient medieval town is truly a city to discover. We hope to see you soon in one of our tours and we ask that you browse through our site and get an idea of how amazing this city is.

Question? email us.

 
What does VaFeltre mean?

Lorna Holland is from the state of Virginia, and Dante is a resident of Feltre. They both wanted to unite their home towns, so the "VA" of "VaFeltre" comes from Virginia.

 
Our Story

Dante and I met in Rome several years ago, when he was working for the same company that hired me to conduct tours of the Roman Forum. We shared a staff apartment with several other employees. Inevitably, Dante would start talking about Feltre, his native home town, and I would talk about Virginia and DC. Six months later, we started dating. Our “dates” took place in Germany, South America, and eventually, in Feltre, to meet his family.

Dante had spent time in the US, but never in Virginia. When we got home, I tried to take him around to the mountains, the ocean, into Washington, DC, just to show the place off a bit. It was exciting for me to hear him tell people it was his favorite place in the States.

 

 

We have made it back to Feltre, and inevitably, we are torn; when we are in Italy, we want to be in the States, and when we are in the States, we can’t wait to get back to Italy.

 

Eventually we decided to use our background in tourism and hospitality to form a tour company that would allow us to show Feltre and Northern Italy to people who had never been there, and vice versa in Virginia and the US. It is our pleasure to show you the places we have fallen in love with. We are proud of where we come from, and would like you to experience the tastes and treasures that make them so special!
