Antonio's last Grand Tour of Italy ended on 30 October 2010. Guided by Antonio himself, participants visited three beautiful Italian regions and experienced Italian art, food and culture. What a wonderful trip it was! To see some photos, click here.

The Tour started in Parma, with our lucky participants visiting not only the city itself and the Opera House for a concert, but also the places where Parmigiano Reggiano and the notorious Prosciutto di Parma are produced. It was a fantastic journey of the senses through traditional flavours, scents and music in that amazing Italian atmosphere...

The Tour went on to Tuscany, where participants had a chance to see the typical landscape of this area: small villages with a medieval structure, narrow streets and ancient buildings. Travelling south, they also went to the Cassino War Cemetery: here rest the New Zealand soldiers who fought the battle of Montecassino during World War II. All participants to the trip prayed together for the soldiers and it was a very touching moment indeed.

Last but not least, the Tour ended in beautiful and sunny Massa Lubrense, Antonio's hometown. Here participants were spoiled by Antonio's mother herself with excellent food and wine in Antono's family hotel La Primavera.
