Incentive Planner Insider Information
Planning Your Event in Italy?
Italy makes incentive travel feel easy and extraordinary. With major international airports in Rome, Milan, and Venice (plus high-speed trains that zip between iconic cities in just a few hours) planners can mix and match destinations as easily as a tick box. Think: a conference in Florence, a walking tour activity through Rome’s ancient streets, arriving at your Masquerade Ball themed gala dinner, by Gondola, in mystical Venice. That’s 3 of the most picturesque destination effortlessly rolled into one incentive itinerary…
And then there’s the food…Italy doesn’t just serve meals, it serves memories. From rolling up your sleeves in a Tuscan cooking class making handmade pasta to sipping Chianti (or the local Prosecco of course) in sun-drenched vineyards, every bite tells a story.
As for experiences? Italy has a myriad of activities and your only challenge will be how to fit them all into one!
- Private tours of ancient ruins.
- Murano glass blowing in Venice.
- Boat rides along dramatic coastlines.
- Gondola transfers between hotels.
- Artisan workshops (Venetian Masks, Murano Glass Blowing) to vineyard visits and even an opera under the Italian stars.
With its rich culture, exceptional hospitality and unforgettable settings, Italy offers more than just a venue, it delivers a complete incentive experience. It’s a destination that engages, impresses and stays with your guests long after the final toast.

linkedinWhy This DMC?
I am part of the Cerruti family, and I started my working life as interior designer and then, after 10 years in the design world of Milan, decided to join the family company. I am a tireless mum with a suitcase always ready. I can never sit still…not even at home.
Kind words.
Thank for all your efforts in making our event run so smoothly. Our guests were raving about the incredible activities and experiences, and we could never have pulled this off without you.
