Douglas and Ombretta have been married for 15 years and divide their time equally between Los Angeles and a 300-year-old apartment they recently restored in Pistoia, the Tuscan town where Ombretta grew up.
Their distinct personalities and incredible sense of adventure make them the perfect hosts for Lost in Italy— perfectly suited to provide a bi-cultural, insider view on a side of Italy most tourists never see.
Each week they set out in their tiny classic Fiat Cinquecento (500)—a car built in the early '60s and considered a national treasure—to capture all that's unknown and unexpected in Tuscany. They share information on everything from picking olives to bottling your own wine—and even show you the right way to order coffee in an Italian bar. And while they also offer unusual travel itineraries and places to explore, the most important thing they share is that it's not just about the destination, but letting yourself get lost along the way.
