The founder, Denise Otero, is originally from the USA and currrently spends her time between London and Italy. She lived in Venice for a few years. Since then, her love for Italy continues and she has been traveling there extensively for over 10 years. Her interest in travel led her to completing a Masters degree specializing in the tourism industry from George Washington University. Denise also spent time as a Tour Manager for one of the largest travel corporations. This gave her the opportunity to travel all of Western Europe but her true passion for Italian culture and lifestyle always brought her back to Italy. This ongoing romance with Italy and its culture developed into a desire to help others experience Italy at its finest and on a deeper level. As a result, Your Friend In Italy Ltd was created.
