with Isabella and Luigi Dusi

Isabella Isabella’s
interest in art, architecture and history matured during her twenty year
career as an Interior Designer. Luigi brought her to live in Italy in
1994, in the hill top village of Montalcino, Tuscany. Since then, her
passion to share her ever growing knowledge of the history and culture of
Italy has strengthened and deepened. Under Isabella’s leadership your Italian journey is enhanced by her natural gift, the ability to tell a story to bring Italy alive, helping you experience the culture, art and history; not lecturing at you, but through story telling. Isabella’s style is animated and passionate, as slowly she awakens your senses to Italy, always leaving you thinking and wanting to learn more. Isabella’s

Beans & Brodo tells a fascinating story of the village and people of
medieval Montalcino in the heart of Tuscany.
Bel Vino tells you more about the people and village of Montalcino, but is not a sequel, it is the other side of the story, deepening your insight into the complexities of life in a medieval village which is, through the wine Brunello di Montalcino, internationally known and a destination in its own right.
