My experience with Southern Italy Travel and Stefano is 100% positive.
I have asked Stefano to perform research on 3 of my grandparents in Calabria, to provide research and a tour of the birthplace of my fourth grandparent and my wife’s grandparents in Abruzzo and Campania, and to provide official birth records of my paternal grandparents and a friend’s maternal grandparents suitable for use by Italian consulates to recognize someone’s Italian citizenship.
In every situation, Stefano worked with diligence, professionalism, and good humor. The quality, accuracy, and quantity of information provided were beyond my expectations. The town tours he arranged and led were fabulous and, in one instance, almost overwhelming (2 dozen of my wife’s discovered family greeted us, and provided a second breakfast for us in a local meeting hall where they had arranged family photos and homemade food, accompanied us on a tour of the town, and bought us lunch in a small local restaurant that they had arranged for us to be the only guests).
I would not hesitate to recommend Southern Italy Travel for any genealogical research in Italy and
would definitely recommend that if you’re planning a trip to Italy you book a tour with them.
