Why The Italian Concierge
What a US-Based
Boutique DMC
Actually Delivers
Most DMCs are locally owned operations you discover after landing. We are something different: an American company — based in New Jersey, licensed and insured in the United States — with 30 years of on-the-ground relationships across every Italian region. Your contracts, insurance certificates, and account management are all domestic. Your experience in Italy is anything but.
Joyce Falcone’s “Black Book,” built since 1994, contains thousands of curated contacts: private drivers, licensed guides, hotel GMs, artisans, cellar masters, estate owners, and local fixers who do not appear in any catalog. That is the difference between a program and an experience.
