I love Italy.
What I think is funny.
After all, it is to show Swedes the real Italy.
All different aspects of Italy
because it is such a multifaceted country.
There is such a big difference in all regions.
But that's what I find funny
to really get to see the real Italy.
My name is Maria Rönnqvist.
I am a wedding coordinator and also
event coordinator for Swedish customers in Italy
which has been my home country for 30 years.
I have lived in Milan for all 30 years.
We work throughout Italy
so I get to travel from north to south.
My driving force, it's Italy.
Italy in Italian is called “il bel paese”
and that means the beautiful country.
I think after 30 years
that it is the most beautiful country in the world.
It's so much fun to show all this to
partly people who may never have been here
and partly people who have been here
many times
and maybe show them something new.
Something they didn't even know existed.
What is most important to me
on a conference trip
it is then, of course, that the customer is satisfied
that they get what they expect,
but also that they get a little more.
That little extra that can be.
Ok maybe we didn't plan
that they should be able to buy parmesan cheese,
but if I see that we have an extra hour of time,
if I know we'll pass it
The convenience store that I may always shop at
can i ask the bus driver
do you have any other driving
can we stay, if you have time and then they usually do.
Such small things that make the customer happy.
I enjoy meeting people
because you get to meet a lot
many different kinds of people and personalities.
See and be shown all the different regions of Italy.
The food of course.
Food is a big part of Italian life
and Italian culture and me
think it's very funny
to show how different food
are in all the different regions of Italy.
I think many Swedes think that
you eat the same things everywhere
and you certainly don't do that.
It's that kind of thing.
I think all my colleagues too
we have somewhat the same way of thinking when it comes to food.
We are all very interested in food.
I think you should
turn to La Villa Travel
if you intend to go to Italy for a conference
because we really know Italy.
We love Italy.
It is still, after 30 years, the best country in the world.
