Who, What, When?

Hi Fellow Travelers, Artists, Gourmands and Adventurers, I’m Mary Ann D’Ambruoso an owner of La Gioia Vita. We are the rebranded partner of D’Ambruoso Studios, and for 25 years we have traveled to Italy with our small groups for exciting Vacations with a Purpose. As the heading for this Blog suggests I, and guest writers, will share their thoughts of whatever’s on the mind that day! 

So today this is what’s on my mind (and the World’s.)

COVID 19 has stopped us in our tracks!  No travel to Italy, or anywhere. As we wait for a safe time to resume travel to any destination, we continue to dream of sharing with you the essence of Italy as experienced through its art, culinary, and rich traditions. 

To this end, we’ll continue to talk about all things Italian, asking you to join us in discovering for yourself one of the world’s most celebrated cultures.

Italy is a vibrant mix of the ancient and the modern, and you'll find for yourself how its people enjoy sharing its treasures with you. Up and down the peninsula, in the countryside, along the coasts and reaching out to the islands just a few miles off its shores, you'll find everything you dreamed for a memorable experience while experiencing La Gioia Vita.
