Progetto Australia was born from a genuine passion for Oceania and the desire to help you experience these lands the right way: through itineraries tailored to you, far from standard off-the-shelf packages.
Over the years we have turned this dedication into a specialist project for Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific Islands. We personally select every place, property and experience, testing them directly on the ground to guarantee only the best.
We believe in travel built on balance, attention to detail and sustainable pacing. Because truly knowing a destination means, first and foremost, knowing how to live it.
Real people, certified experts, ready to design your perfect journey.
Founder & Owner

Travel Consultant
Travel has always been the common thread of my life. Over the years I have explored Asia, the US, Africa, Latin America and Europe, but it was my encounter with Australia that truly changed the way I see travel. After living and travelling across Australia and New Zealand for years, I decided to turn that experience into a profession. Since 2016 I have been creating tailor-made itineraries for Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific Islands. Drawing on first-hand knowledge of the territory, I help every traveller build a trip planned down to the last detail — because every journey should be far more than a holiday: it should have the right rhythm, perfect balance, and make you truly live what you have always imagined.

Travel Consultant
G'day! I'm originally from Verona, but from a young age my parents passed on a passion for travel. At 18 I moved to Australia… for "just" 9 months. Over 10 years later, I still call Australia home. I've worked in tourism since 2013 and have been lucky enough to travel to over 80 countries. My favourite part of the world? The Pacific Islands: wild nature, pristine beaches, crystal-clear sea and active volcanoes.

Born in Sardinia, a citizen of the world by choice. From a young age passionate about languages and foreign cultures, she left Sardinia in her early twenties for an international journey that took her through Germany and Spain before the big leap to the Americas. After a brief experience in the United States, she fell in love with Mexico, where she launched several tourism businesses and completed a degree in Psychology. When she became a mother, she chose Australia for its freedom and safety. She has lived on the Australian East Coast for over 12 years. Through Progetto Australia she brings her international experience and deep knowledge of the territory to assist clients directly in Australia.
We have lived and worked in Australia since 2007. Our knowledge of these destinations comes from daily experience, personal travel and direct contact with the territory and local partners.
Every itinerary is designed around how you like to travel: from pace and transfers to choice of experiences and the balance between discovery, relaxation and authenticity. We do not offer standard packages — we build trips truly around the person.
Throughout your journey you stay in constant contact with our Italian team in Oceania. Should you need anything, you have direct, fast support in your own language from people who genuinely know these destinations.
Travelling means living, growing, dreaming. For us, it also means respecting, protecting and loving. Sustainability is not an option — it is at the heart of how we do tourism.
We select certified local partners and operators, favouring low-impact experiences and eco-friendly accommodations.
We support social projects including Still I Rise and Thank You, and work closely with indigenous Australian communities.
We are Travelife Partner certified: we meet over 100 sustainability criteria in management, operations and our supplier chain.
"Travel is our passion. Sharing it with you is our work."
