In 1985, I founded Pisoni - Ferrari Tour Company Ltd., a quality Tour Operator Company specialized in personalized and private Travel Programs & Tours to Italy and North America. After 20 years of successful dedication to the tourism industry and thanks to the loyalty of many repeat customers, I have decided to expand our services and offer more creative ideas. I am proud to introduce to you our new partner, Mrs. Mirjam Schram-Burger from the Netherlands, a travel specialist in villas and apartment rentals in Italy, who shares the same travel philosophy and love for Italian culture and lifestyle. Together, we have founded a new and very exciting Tour Operator Company, "Spirit of Places Ltd."

New Website Address: http://www.spiritofplaces.com

New E-mail Address: travel@spiritofplaces.com

The new Company name of “Spirit of Places” comes from the Latin words Genius Loci ("the Spirit of a Place"). We have chosen this new name to emphasize that every place has its own spirit, atmosphere and character.

Please visit and familiarize yourself with our new Spirit of Places Ltd.’s website. You will find a special place to discover the Italian mosaic of cultures, history, people and lifestyles.

Therefore, we welcome you to flavor and experience with us the fascinating country of Italy where history, culture, glamour and passion have always played a crucial role for creativity, ingenuity and sophistication.

Thank you for your loyalty and patronage

and

Welcome to Spirit of Places Ltd.
