Hello, we are Flaminia and Lorenzo. Our adventure began a few years ago when we both traveled as exchange students to the United States. Flaminia, a travel enthusiast and scuba diving lover, graduated in Ohio and is now studying International Business. Lorenzo, passionate about powerlifting and also fond of scuba diving, graduated in California and continues to nurture his interest in intercultural communication.

The sea is our common element, a thread that connects all the Italian coasts and has shaped Mediterranean culture over the centuries. It was this symbolic "sea" that took us far away, allowing us to discover new horizons and change our perspective on the world forever.

The Inspiration Behind Aethalia

Our experiences abroad opened our eyes to the richness of immersing oneself in a different culture, with all its colors, challenges, and surprises. This growth experience taught us the importance of intercultural dialogue and inspired us to create something that could offer the same transformative impact to young Americans visiting Italy.

Our Vision

Aethalia Connecting Cultures is an innovative project born from our shared experiences and fresh, enthusiastic ideas. We aim to provide students with an authentic way to discover Italy beyond typical tourist visits, allowing them to engage in immersive experiences that blend learning and fun. We believe that travel, much like an adventure at sea, is a powerful tool for broadening horizons and fostering personal growth.

We collaborate with a highly qualified team of professionals who support us at every stage of the project. From planning and contracting to on-the-ground assistance during travels, we work with industry experts to ensure that each experience is organized and executed with the utmost care and quality.
