The Coffee Mate Caffè :
guests talk about their favourite
Italian culture traditions.

Who would your ideal coffee mate be? 

Pour yourself a cappuccino and pull up a chair while you hear some of ours answering interview questions
about themselves, their family and their
favourite fun facts about Italy.

Welcome to our warm and friendly virtual Italian coffee shop! 


Coffee is a big part of Italian culture traditions, and there's nothing nicer than settling down with a friend and putting the world to rights.


Here you'll find a collection of talks with friends of ours who have kindly agreed to spend time answering interview questions.  Some we know in person, some we have only met in a 'virtual' life.  All of them have one thing in common - they share our love of Italy and all things Italian.


So come on in, grab a cappuccino, settle down on the sofa and join in the chat!




Wedding planner in Italy :  Pam Bates.

Mother, soon to be grandmother, and successful businesswoman, Pam and her husband David took the plunge and moved to Italy ten years ago.   


Now the owner of two successful businesses, one running a hotel and the other as a wedding planner in Italy, Pam is a star of television documentaries and magazine articles.


Here Pam talks to us about her family, her move to Italy and what it takes to run a successful business in a foreign country.
