From Bologna to Ireland, a long journey.

Pietro & Simonetta

With Love

Simonetta & Pietro were both born in Bologna, the medieval town you see in the video above. Very popular around the world for its fine food and for the oldest university in Europe, laying on that vast plain known as “Pianura Padana” is embraced between the river Po and the lower hills of the Appennini.

Sometimes something happens in life that leads to profound changes.

Pietro, an IT specialist in Italy, and Simonetta, a professional photographer, were called by the owner of an Irish seaweed processing company to create an e-commerce prototype. Thus it was that Pietro and Simonetta landed in Ireland for the first time in 2013.

From this opportunity the Irlanda on the Road project was born, that is, to create a structure on the Emerald Isle to welcome Italian tourists and accompany them on daily trips to discover the wonderful places on the west coast of Ireland.
They then moved in 2014 for the first time to Teelin, Donegal. In 2017 they moved to Manorhamilton, Leitrim and from 2023 they live and work in Rossinver, just a few kilometers far from Manorhamilton and the Atlantic coast.

 

Today, thanks to their experience, they have created Italy on the Road™, to allow small groups of Irish tourists to visit Italy in a different way than the usual destinations proposed by large tourist agencies.

Their formula has proven to be very simple and effective:

  1. Small selected groups of a fixed number of 6 persons to allow the maximum relax and avoid the “herd effect” and personalize the experience.
  2. An operational base in a town (typically Bologna) from where to start for daily guided excursions on their own vehicles to the best destinations and return at the hotel for dinner.
  3. Tailored hassle-free experience.
  4. Affordable prices.

All this is possible thanks to a professional work team that can guarantee the maximum peace of mind to let enjoy your holiday in Italy.
