The expert in local history

Dear lovers of Italian style,

How many times have you visited one of the many wonderful places in our land and, even though fascinated by the wonders that unfolded before you, you always felt like mere spectators and never an integral part of the context? Very often, the tour guide, the itinerary crafted by the travel agency, or the advice from the guidebook in your hands showed you the many beauties and talked about the places, but you didn’t have that sense of “participatory observation” you were looking for. What if our team offers you the opportunity to accompany tourist services with the chance to see everything through the eyes of a true local? An expert in local history, a friend with whom to share the journey.

The expert in local history enthusiast is simply a friend who, accompanying you on the journey, shares the discovery of the place with you, offering the perspective of someone who lives there every day. They share with you the true local culture, not historical, archaeological, or other aspects within the purview of professional figures, but they give you the opportunity to learn about the traditions of the place and often explore spaces that remain undiscovered because they are known only to the true locals. Das bella Italien is delighted to connect you with local individuals who want to share their time with you to narrate the emotions of a true Italian. It’s up to you to choose when and how much time to spend with a local history enthusiast.

A local expert can advise and accompany you to places where you can savor the true tastes of traditional cuisine, show you paths known only to a local resident, share legends and popular beliefs, optimize your time, and guide you towards the right choices for a genuine service offered on-site. Every local history enthusiast has been carefully selected and evaluated by our team, vouching for the authenticity of the service provided. However, Das bella Italien is always in touch with its readers during their travels in Italy and is ready to monitor the overall experience and collect feedback.

The idea of the local history expert service originated after a team member experienced a similar and reasonably priced service in one of the Swiss cantons. A resident of the Canton of Aargau accompanied one of our team members from 10:00 to 16:00 on a wonderful tour of local beauties.

He also assisted our team in visits with museum guides and other services entrusted to specific figures but also showed unexplored spaces, shared anecdotes, and accompanied our colleague to a local farm to share an excellent dinner with the farmer and his family. A dinner that leaves no trace in any guidebook, of which no tour guide speaks, and, above all, a place not advertised but reserved for locals. A dinner with excellent cheese enjoyed on wooden benches immersed in the local flora and fauna. A kind farmer and his wife who, at reasonable prices, love to share their moments with local residents. No website for their farm, no traditional advertising, but a place always full of local people who are, above all, friends sharing a pure moment of Aargau’s culture.
