Giovanni was born and raised in Fiuggi, a small resort town located less than an hour from Rome. Since his first job Giovanni has worked in the hospitality business which led to a successful career as a concierge at the top 5-star hotels in Rome. Before he made the move to Rome, he lived in London and Spain for several years and became fluent in English and Spanish. Giovanni knows intimately the wonderment of his native country and is passionate about sharing it with his clients. He thinks no day is complete without a morning coffee from his trusty Italian moka and fresh baked bread , and can talk about anything from pasta, politics, and music to NFL football.

Annie is a native Minnesotan born into an Italian-American family and has lived in Rome for over a decade. She first experienced Italy studying abroad as a college student and instantly fell in love with the country, people, language and culture. Annie is a passionate person who has worked in fashion in NYC and media production throughout the United States which eventually led to her to pack up her Prada and turn her love for everything Italian into a career as founder of Personalized Italy. Two years after she moved to Rome she drove her first motorino during Friday rush hour traffic and her beloved Scooteroma was born! She adores her Vespa Vita as she scooters around town on her cherry red wheels but is always trying to come up with new ways to fight ‘helmet head’. As serendipity would have it, Annie’s passion for wheels and her business would be the catalyst to meet her future Italian business partner.

Together, Annie and Giovanni define Personalized Italy. Their journey has been guided by beautiful, serendipitous Italian moments and they want to give you the opportunity to experience those fairytale moments too. Come travel with Personalized Italy!
