ABOUT FATTO A MANO TRAVEL
Pasta. Clothes. Art. The best of everything in Italy is “fatto a mano” (handmade). My goal in creating Fatto a Mano Travel is to share my passion for Italy with every client by creating one of a kind luxury experiences in Italy.
Over the years in which I have lived and traveled in Italy I have learned that, like the best pasta, experiences are not sold in packages. Experiencing the best of Italy requires a careful balance - almost a juxtaposition - of luxury and local. Luxury without culture is futile.
Fatto a Mano is a luxury Italy travel specialist with a passion for helping clients experience the most authentic version of Italy - la vera Italia. We work closely with each client, curating a unique, once in a lifetime experience, and meticulously planning every detail of your itinerary in Italy. We are your consigliere, partnering with you before, during, and after your trip. All you need is your passport.
CURATING AUTHENTIC LUXURY EXPERIENCES IN ITALY
Meet Your Consigliere
Ciao e benvenuti!
I’m Michael Gallagher, founder of Fatto a Mano Travel. Having twice lived in Florence, I have been traveling to 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!
Michael Gallagher
