I'm a food lover by nature and also a native of Abruzzo. I'm an official Tour Leader recognised by the Abruzzo Region. I’ve been eating truffles since my mother had me in her womb, and since we live in a rich truffle area, I know the art and secrets of truffles very well. When I was 7 I trained my first truffle dog. I'm the founder of Experience BellaVita, a company that promotes sustainable tourism experiences in the less touristic areas of Italy, in Abruzzo. I and my friend Alberto, we do together the experiences that I designed over the years. He has my same qualifications and passion for Abruzzo. 1 of the 5* reviews "My mother and I enjoyed the Truffle Hunt Tour and Meal and it exceeded our expectations in every possible way. Marino is organized, knowledgeable, and incredibly kind and easy to chat with."

The picnic area ..... It was born from Amelia's idea of welcoming families, children, friends... into the company as much as possible. The aim is to make people spend a pleasant day and to arouse the curiosity of people who are approaching country life. Many ask us what we do in the company and so we can't just tell you but we like to show you! We open the company to lead you to discover the fascinating world of agriculture… After a short excursion among the rows of apples (weather permitting) you will be accompanied on an interesting visit to the stables to see the work of agriculture and livestock up close! The picnic area will be the setting for a tasting that will win over cheese lovers but not only...!
