Sitting backstage in February 2015 at the Hoggetowne Medieval Festival, Paolo and I hatched the idea for RenAdventures. And what an adventure it has been. By that winter we launched our very first tour – “New Years in Sicily”. Our deep personal love of Italy inspired us to introduce our guests to all the beauty and magic in Tuscany, Sicily, and Rome. We have shown them the splendor of boat rides through caves on the Ionian Sea, to all manner of ancient wonders, and have even risen to take in the iridescent skies above Siena in a hot air balloon. We’ve since expanded our adventures to Greece and England and plan to visit the exotic sites of Egypt in the near future. The world is open to all who wish to join us.

I have had the honor and pleasure of performing at Renaissance and Medieval Festivals for nearly 40 years. Along the way, I have also studied Italian and lived and traveled in Italy any chance I could. For me personally, these RenAdventures trips allow me to utilize all I’ve learned in my own many Italian journeys over these many years. My greatest joy comes from sharing this with you – whether it’s putting my home-made soap and lip balm in the gift bags of our arriving guests, playing Italian love songs as you sip an aperitivo in a quaint medieval piazza and taking both first time and experienced travelers to places they’ve never seen and on adventures they never expected. Best of all is when I get to introduce you to new life long friends in foreign lands. 

RenAdventures is truly the culmination of my life’s work and passions. And who knows where and what lies ahead. Tell us where you want to go and we’ll take you there. 

Pack your bags…we’re going on the RenAdventure of a lifetime.
