Chicago's Lesley Pritkin and Rosanne Cofoid are offering LGBTQ-specific adventures in Italy with unique venues for same-sex wedding celebrations and honeymoons that cater to all tastes and budgets.
Said venues include tiny secluded towns, sprawling olive and lemon groves in rural areas and to southern Italy's "Sassi" of Matera—prehistoric dwellings that some may prefer for unique "cave weddings."
Pritkin owns a Rome-based Illinois destination marketing company, Divertimento Group; she is helping locals network with USA travel professionals who have an LGBTQ clientele. Cofoid, owner of Hindsdale's 10 year-plus boutique agency La Dolce Via Travel, is Divertimento Group's travel agency partner for the U.S. market.
To contact Pritikin, visit DivertimentoGroup.com or email Lesley@divertimentogroup.com . To reach Cofoid, email Rosanne@ladolceviatravel.com . |
