When they say
they've done Italy,
we ask — which one?

Italy is not one country. It is five or six, depending on the season.

santo's view on italy

There will always be a next trip. Our job is to make this one land properly. Most people who come to us about Italy have already been — they've done Rome, they've done Florence, they've done the Amalfi. What they're asking for is the version that doesn't feel like the version everyone else has done.

That's a more interesting brief. The Dolomites in late September, when the hiking season ends and the light turns low. Venice in November, when the city contracts and becomes itself again. Rome in April before the shoulder season crowds compound. Each has a right version and a wrong one. We know which is which.
