Hi, I’m Mary Angela

Hi there! My name is Mary Angela Marciano. I am an Italian American licensed tour leader, wine & chocolate expert and travel advisor based in Perugia, right in the greenest heart of Italy. I was born along the stunning Amalfi Coast where tourism and hospitality are our bread & butter. My father was the second generation owner of one of the first bus companies in Sorrento and my mother is a English teacher from New Jersey. I was brought up bilingual and, since I was a child, I was surrounded by a very international environment. In 2002 I moved to Perugia where I graduated suma cum laude in Marketing & Communication at the University for Foreigners of Perugia. Then, in 2014, I moved to New York City to reconnect with my American roots and start a successful carrier in fashion. However, after years of working a 9-to-5 corporate job in the city, I decided to leave it all behind and return to my beautiful dolce vita in Italy.
