Lotto shop, Naples. Copyright Gretta Schifano

I took this photo in a Naples back street on an amazing guided Vespa tour of the Italian city. My guide, an archaeologist called Emilio, collected me from my hotel and took me around the  main sites as well as some less well-known places in the city. Here we are just about to go in to […]

I’m there on a sunny day one April on a […]

Guided Vespa Tour, Naples. Copyright Gretta Schifano

As I stepped out of my hotel I was feeling panicky. I was in Naples, the eldest was alone upstairs in our room, and I was setting off with an Italian man I’d never met for a tour of a city with a chaotic reputation. What’s more, the tour was by Vespa, and I still […]

Sorrento and Ravello

April 9, 2013 by Gretta Schifano Leave a Comment

I’m in Italy this week on a fabulous family tour around the Bay of Naples with my teen, as guests of The Adventure Company. I’m missing my husband and the youngest, of course, but we’re having a great time. We started off in the lively city of Naples, are now in the more relaxed Sorrento […]
