Hi, I’m John Ryan.

In 2013 I traveled to Rome, and fell in love with the Italian way of life. I haven’t truly left Italy since.

I went from studying in Italy, to running my own business in Italy. I owe a lot to this beautiful country and all the amazing people I have met.

I have found a second family while organizing retreats at local estates and importing craft goods back to the States.

My life wouldn’t be the same without the magic of Italy, and yours won’t be the same either.
