Like most Italians, Flavio immediately offered us his warmth and hospitality making himself available for anything we might need. We had heard that the area was well-known for its truffles and inquired about where to go truffle hunting. He invited us to spend a day with him going truffle hunting. It turned out that Flavio himself was a truffle hunter and had an amazing story.

Have you ever traveled somewhere and had the thought, “I think I want to move here?" Something about the atmosphere, the pace, and the culture draws you in. I want to tell you how slow living in Italy changed my life.

In moving at a slower pace, practicing slow living like an Italian, I began to notice beauty all around me that I had missed by being in a hurried rush or consumed with my to-do list.
