Reconnect with Your Past: Have an ancestor from Italy? Know the location of their headstone or the war memorial where their name is engraved? We can visit the site, photograph the marker, and even capture the name in the stone with a charcoal rubbing on paper, and mail it to you.
Relive Cherished Memories: Did you honeymoon in Italy decades ago? Curious to see what your favorite spots look like now? We’ll revisit those locations—restaurants, streets, historic sites—and send you updated photos. We can even take you on a video walkthrough those special streets.
Evaluate a Potential Property: Considering purchasing property in Italy? We’ll visit the location, capture videos and pictures, and explore the surrounding area to give you an authentic feel for the place.
Rediscover Family Heritage: Is your family from a particular town or village in Italy? Is there a lake, church, or other landmark that holds special significance? We’ll explore the area, search for family names on memorials, or look for old photographs in local bars or churches. We can even send you a postcard from the town—if there’s a post office!
Pricing: Our Heritage Exploration Service starts at €300.00, depending on the distance and depth of research.
What We CAN Do:
- Photograph and video locations in or near a town.
- Schedule a live video call, when possible, so you can explore in real time with us.
- Send a charcoal rubbing of a gravestone or a postcard from the location.
- Visit specific places you provide and show you what's there now.
- Provide a follow-up report with photos, videos, and insights about the area.
What We CAN’T Do:
- Conduct genealogical research or search for records in government or archive facilities.
- Find a real estate agent or set up property viewings.
- Guarantee the discovery of specific markers or places if you’re unsure of their existence.
Our service is ideal for those certain of their heritage or those wanting to revisit a meaningful location. However, we may decline requests where the outcome is uncertain (e.g., unsure if a gravestone exists or if the family is truly from the town) to avoid disappointment.
