La Dolce Via Travel

La Dolce Via Travel was created for discriminating travelers who want more than just seeing the best-known sites of Italy, but rather wish to experience both the spectacular as well as the hidden gems that capture the essence of real Italian life and culture. La Dolce Via Travel provides the highest quality custom-travel planning to Italy. With our in-depth knowledge of the country, strong relationships with our Italian colleagues, and dedication to your having a truly wonderfully memorable experience, La Dolce Via Travel can create that special trip specifically for you and your traveling companions. Founded by Rosanne Zammuto Cofoid, La Dolce Via Travel grew out of her love of the country and her sense of being completely at home whenever she is there. Rosanne's ancestry is Italian, and she grew up with many Italian customs and traditions which formed the foundation of her knowledge of Italy. She has always had a passion for all things Italian, studied there as a college student and has returned countless times since then. She journeys to Italy several times annually in order to explore and research special places, meet with service providers, and live her own version of "la dolce vita" to ensure the best for her clients. Mary T. Evans' love for Italy and the Italian language began as a college student when she spent a year studying in Rome and traveling extensively throughout the country. That love developed into a lifelong connection to the country, its language and its people. She has worked in the travel industry for the past 20 years, for many years as part of the Chicago sales team for Alitalia Airlines and most recently with a company that represents luxury Italian hotel properties and villas, helping travel agents create high-end itineraries for their clients. All of this has offered her countless opportunities to travel throughout Italy and forge lasting relationships - both professional and personal - with its warm & wonderful people. She also has developed a strong command of the Italian language. Mary is a vital part of La Dolce Via Travel because of her extensive tie to the country and the travel business and her true zest for bella Italia!
