ABOUT FATTO A MANO TRAVEL

Pasta. Clothes. Art. Architecture. The best of everything in Italy is “fatto a mano” (handmade).

Fatto a Mano Travel is a luxury Italy travel agency specializing in bespoke journeys for travelers who want more than just five-star hotels—they want to experience the soul of Italy. We believe culture is the ultimate luxury. That’s why we partner directly with local artisans, restauranteurs, business owners, and proprietors to craft experiences that are as meaningful as they are refined, while sustainably supporting the communities that welcome you.

We work closely with each client to curate bespoke, once-in-a-lifetime experiences, and meticulously plan every detail of your itinerary in Italy. We are your consigliere, partnering with you before, during, and after your trip.

Every experience is uniquely handmade. Allow us to introduce you to the real Italy; Italy fatto a mano.

CURATING AUTHENTIC LUXURY EXPERIENCES IN ITALY

Ciao e benvenuti!

I’m Michael Gallagher, founder of Fatto a Mano Travel. Having twice lived in Florence, I have been traveling in Italy regularly since 2011.

As I have learned her language, her culture, and her history, Italy has become my second home. I consider myself incredibly fortunate to spend about a month each year in Italy with my wife, Alexandra, and daughter, Leila.

Over the years, I have developed dear friendships with proprietors, artisans, restauranteurs, and local experts throughout Italy. Collaboratively with their support, I look forward to creating your next authentic luxury experience in Italy.

Buon viaggio!
