​
On behalf of THESHOEMAKER’SSTUDIO and co-host Hey Lady💋™, Ron Donovan would like to invite you to explore and experience Italy from a native's perspective.
​
During our eight (8) days and seven (7) nights together, you will experience The Marche', some of its neighboring towns/villages, other more familiar attractions from a native's perspective. You will discover some of the incredible sights, activities, food, wines, and products the locals hold dear. I will share with you some of the many hidden treasures that have been shared with me over my years of visiting and working in Italy. 
 
Additionally, this amazing excursion offers incredible shopping opportunities. The Marche region is renowned for its production of footwear, accessories and apparel, and you will receive access to the outlets and factory stores of some of the most recognizable brands in the world, Armani, Gucci, Prada, Moncler, and Sergio Rossi to name a few. We will also introduce you to other incredible brands you may have never heard of. 
​
In addition to receiving a bit of retail therapy, you will get to live out your inner designer. You will be my guest in my factory where my team and I will assist you in customizing footwear, bags, and other accessories from my latest collections (one pair of shoes per participant is included with your trip fee).
​
Interested in going it alone for a bit, doing something more independently? No problem. We will happily assist you with coordinating your optional activities.
