Looking for an Italian travel concierge? Gwen Shields and Umberto Piscina specialize in custom designing your unique Italian travel and lifestyle experience, tailored to your specific interests and passions. We’ll help you plan that once in a lifetime vacation that you will remember for years to come.
Gwen and Umberto met in Rome of 2015, where Gwen was on a custom travel experience of her own and Umberto was the tour guide. While we can’t guarantee a long-lasting romance and marriage from your experience, we will unearth the most unique, best-kept-secret Italian treasures to ensure an experience beyond expectations.
In addition to a life-time of extensive travel through out Italy, Umberto lived in Italy for nearly 25 years. Born in London to Italian parents, he is a native Italian and English speaker (which he reminds me everyday is different from American). Umberto studied Italian Literature (mostly Dante) and Renaissance art and architecture in his A-levels in the UK.
Gwen is a chief operating officer business owner and former engineer with a knack for details, logistics and cutting red-tape. She is studying Italian, speaks fluent American and according to Umberto, needs some work on her English.
