Hi, I’m Andrea, born and raised in Northern Italy.

After years in tech leadership and entrepreneurship, I chose to follow my true passions, connecting people with nature, great food, and authentic experiences.

As an athlete, outdoor lover, and food and wine enthusiast, I believe that when like-minded people come together in nature, amazing things happen.

Live Real is about creating those moments, active adventures, genuine connections, and experiences that feed both body and soul.

If you’re ready to explore the real Italy and recharge in a meaningful way, I’d love to guide you.

As a longtime customer of Andrea, I always wanted to explore the wineries in Northern Italy and meet producers of his exceptional wines. So, last Spring, I spent 10 days having Andrea as a guide visiting several wineries, meeting producers, snow hiking in a beautiful mountain near Swiss Alps, it was an amazing experience! It would have never been possible without Andrea. Strongly recommended.

I’ve been a customer of Andrea’s for the past five years. While I will truly miss his exceptional wines, I’m excited about his new venture. Andrea’s passion and attention to detail are remarkable. We look forward to using this service for our next trip to Italy..

Andrea helped my wife and me plan an amazing trip to Italy last summer, connecting us with local wineries, restaurants, and charming B&Bs we wouldn’t have found otherwise. The highlight was visiting Menegola Winery, where Walter spent two full days showing us around and sharing the unique long history of his family on this beautiful land.  We tasted his great wine and hiked all over the vineyard with him while he told us the history.  And we capped it all off with an incredible meal at his amazing restaurant which had the best Risotto we ever had.  The recently built luxurious accommodations on the vineyard hills gave us an unbelievable view from the bed to an amazing National park across the valley. Truly unforgettable. Highly recommend this service provided by an extremely authentic guy (Andrea) who knows some of the the most beautiful hidden secrets of Italy!
