Why Italy?

If the name Nicholas Anthony Donato didn’t tip you off, Nick has Italian heritage. Actually, he is 1/2 Italian from his father’s side and 1/4th Polish from his mother’s. Brooke and Nick took their first trip to Italy in 2017 and fell in love with the culture, food, and beautiful sights. They are at their happiest driving around the Italian countryside with the windows down, finding tucked-away cafes for aperativos, and shopping at local markets to whip up home-cooked dinners. We can’t wait to share this part of ourselves with you.
