Meet Mariella Ray
Mariella was born in Bari and raised in Milan, Italy, where she has lived most of her life. She is a former advertising executive with a deep knowledge of and love for Italy, that she has effectively transformed into her second professional career. Together with her husband, Rick, she has travelled regularly and frequently throughout all of Italy in search of new discoveries and hidden treasures.
As a consequence, she is able to provide insightful and passionate itinerary advice on virtually any destination in Italy. They divide their time between Indianapolis and Milan.
Each of us in Hidden Treasures is either Italian-born, or has lived for a lengthy period in Italy… and we are all warmly passionate about sharing the joys and hidden treasures of Italy with anyone who decides to visit our fascinating country.
