You will see first hand how to care and maintain the plants and chickens that roam his courtyard. Finish the day with a cooking class where you will make an authentic Italian feast for mom and dad.
Dinner with Locals
Exchange customs and cultures over a meal with a local Italian family. We will do our best to match your family with a local family with children of similar age. Over a meal in their home share your language, customs and stories. This is a great way to interact with local people and to really enjoy an authentic Italian meal. We can organize this activity in Venice, Florence & Rome.
