    About Us:
    When we were in our early 20’s, chasing our own dreams of living in Europe, we met one night at a pub in Florence...11 months later, we were married! Having been together for 4 years now, we have lived & worked on 3 different continents & even on a cruise ship!
    We moved back to Italy to live out one of our biggest dreams - to pull off the Ultimate Italian Road Trip, traveling to all 20 regions of Italy by the end of 2022! We will be showcasing the impressive diversity all 20 regions of Italy have to offer - from the history, architecture, art, culture, food, traditions and so much more! 🇮🇹

    Have you ever researched your origins? Your surname is quite rare and it's from a famous and important noble family in Trapani. Some of them were italian patriots and Enrico Fardella also fought in the United States leading a regiment called Fardella of Union troops and was appointed general by President Lincoln. A statue of him is in New York.

    Hi Mateo e Micha! Love your videos & I have learnt so much from you! You both seem to be enjoying yourselves everywhere you go too!
    One feedback comment - when Mateo introduces Palazzo Cavaretta (town hall) of Trapani, Sicily, he says the clock on the right of its facade is the oldest astronomical clock in Europe. I think he means the astronomical clock on the Torre Oscura which is located next to the town hall - this IS the astronomical clock which goes back to 1596. However, he can't claim it to be the oldest astronomical clock in Europe because the astronomical clock located on the Old Town City Hall in Prague's Old Town Square is much older as it was installed in the year 1410. Hope you don't mind the feedback........Cheers, Steve Y xxx 😊❤

      @TheGlobalExpats  2 роки тому +1

      Thanks John! 🥰 The covid protocols are to wear a mask everywhere, and they check your vaccination card before entering most places like restaurants, museums, etc. The rules might change by May though, so be sure to keep an eye out for any updates. We’re sure you’re going to have an amazing trip! 🤗🇮🇹

      Hey, yes there is as on the majority of the roads, however, there are certain times that you aren't allowed to park on certain streets due to street cleaning so pay attention to the signs with the days of the week and times. We hope you have an awesome time! 🥰

    My surname is Partain...scramble it and it's Trapani. Partain is a Norman name. But the Normans were Vikings and Romans. Little bit of interesting historical "coincidence"
