Antica Travel Co. launches Ciociaria Cultural Travel Experiences
Follow us off the beaten path, into the extraordinary Wild Heart of Italy - to the ‘hidden’ regions of Ciociaria & Molise in central Italy.
For curious, cultured travellers.
Antica Travel Co. - the travel brand of the award-winning cultural dining experience Antica Australis - has launched its Ciociarian Cultural Travel Experiences to Chef Paolo’s home region of Ciociaria in central Italy. Just one hour south of Rome, it’s a whole world away.
Meet the Ciociarian culinary creatives, local producers, vignerons & local artisans who have been the inspiration for the Antica Australis journey, and explore the layers of ancient Samnite, Roman & Medieval history of Ciociaria in central Italy with Antica Australis & Antica Travel co-owners - Paolo & Kelly Picarazzi.
“We have hand-crafted our itineraries from ten years of on-ground personal research and our groups are guided by our great Ciociarian friends who are local archaeologists, academics, culinary artisans, artisanal producers, hiking guides and art historians,” says Kelly, a global tourism professional with over 20 years experience throughout Europe, Australasia and the Middle East. Kelly was noted as one of the global ‘100 Inspiring Women Travel Founders’ by Travel Massive in 2020.
The first of the sustainable small-group tours will be hosted in Ciociaria in September 2024, with several tours planned for May & September from 2025.
