Culture and tradition among elegance and comfort

After an exciting and at the same time intensely demanding piece of  work, at long last here is “ItaliaQuality – A Journey through Fabled Italian Retreats”.
The anticipation to see it printed, bound and completely finished was overwhelming, and I couldn’t wait to hold a copy, the first copy, in my hands. When that finally happened it was a truly emotional moment. I was temporarily lost for words and left breathless looking at the result of all our hard work.
It was initially intended as a guide, but gradually evolved into a proper book, a book of art - a series of fables, each dedicated to its own unique retreat.
The tales were written to spark interest into this dream-like world, and the splendid illustrations that accompany the texts set your imagination free to wander through, and search out, all the enchanting places just waiting to be discovered.
The “Fables” are accurate descriptions, but written in such a way that draws the reader into a visual perspective, and evokes the sensations and emotions that we felt during our stays in these very special “homes” – places which are bound to leave an indelible mark on one’s memory.
The official presentation of the book was held during the TTI in Rimini – The International Fair of the Incoming Turistico Italiano Internazionale – on the 24 October 2008. It was a beautiful and intimate affair. We were very pleased to see everyone who attended the Fair, but felt especially honoured to meet those who came along solely to meet us and ItaliaQuality.
This is the First Edition: now the work starts for the second one……..
