4 Times Skiing the Italian Alps
With a Masters in Italian Studies and a lifelong connection to my Sicilian heritage, my passion for Italy is deeply embedded in my soul. I have been traveling to Sicily since I was a child, later studying at the University of Messina and earning my Master’s in Italian Studies from Middlebury College in Florence. My expertise goes beyond a general love for the country; I possess an intimate knowledge of Italy's history, politics, culture, and the distinct "campanilismo" that defines the pride of each region.
When you choose Via Mondo Travel as your planner, you receive more than just a proposal. You get an insightful, curated experience that I believe is unmatched by any other agency in the United States. I bridge the gap between my deep Italian roots and an understanding of the North American traveler’s expectations to create seamless, effortless journeys.
Whether you are interested in the Dolomites, the shores of Sardinia, the Tuscan landscape, or the traditions of Puglia and Sicily, I have first-hand experience in every corner of the country. From active hiking and cycling trips to luxury cruises and secluded retreats, I have planned and executed it all over my 25-year career.With half a century of personal visits and a professional background as an Italian travel specialist, I invite you to experience the Via Mondo difference. You are in expert hands when you book your Italian getaway with me.

Snow Much Fun in Chamonix!
Reviewed By SkiMom - Skaneateles, NY | Traveled to Chamonix | France | Europe
We recently took our family of 5 to Chamonix, France for a ski trip. Our kids are ages 8,11, and 13 and it was their first trip to Europe. Rosemary spent countless hours working with our family to find the right destination that suited our family's ski level and interests. We also have dietary needs/allergies and Rosemary worked with us closely to find a location that would easily accommodate this. It can be tough traveling abroad with little kids, all the while making sure that everyone can eat safely. I felt like Rosemary really heard and understood this concern, and worked to make sure we would be eating delicious, safe food. She also listened to me talk about past vacations that we had been on and what made them fun and memorable for our family, and took that information to help curate an amazing experience for this vacation. I would highly recommend ViaMondo travel to anyone. Rosemary listens to what you want, researches, suggests cultural experiences, circles back frequently while the trip is being curated, and is in contact during the trip should you need any further assistance while traveling. Excellent experience overall.
Rosemary Mondo responded
"I was delighted to hear that you enjoyed your family ski trip in France. Thank you so much for the glowing review.
As a skier myself, it was a pleasure to assist you. I know how important it is to find the right fit for the whole family to ensure everyone has a great time. I am thrilled that the food, the mountain, and the overall experience were just right.
I look forward to helping you with your next family adventure."

Winter getaway to Turks and Caicos
Reviewed By Mike and Lisa - Provo, Villa Del Mar | Traveled to Turks and Caicos Islands | Caribbean
Rosemary did a good job planning for our trip on rather short notice. She answered all of my questions before the trip. We liked the condo (Villa Del Mar) that she recommended. It was a very short walk to the beach. The staff there was very helpful and accommodating. The provided breakfast was just OK, being heavy on carbs with not much in the way of fruits or proteins. We booked a sailboat ride as well as snorkeling which was fun. The beach (Grace Bay) was very pretty, which we thoroughly enjoyed. We ventured out to the restaurant scene that Rosemary recommended. The meals on the island are rather expensive and then a tax and service charge of 22% is added. We did find a very nice local restaurant (Flamingo Cafe) off the beaten path. Even though it took over an hour, it was well worth the wait. I had the best grouper fish dinner of my life there. All in all a good trip.
Rosemary Mondo responded
"I think we did a great job putting together this trip within a couple of weeks! From many islands, to Turks and Caicos in only a few days. I'm so glad you enjoyed T&Cs. It's one of my favorite Caribbean islands. I'll add your restaurant to the list and share with other Via Mondo Travelers. Thank you for your input. I really appreciate it. For your next adventure, let's plan sooner rather than later. Chat soon! "

Of all the travel agents we spoke to before we booked our two-week trip to Italy, Rosemary was the only one who asked us delving questions, took the time to allow us to explain exactly what we wanted, knew the destinations, intimately, enhanced our experience with helpful and well-informed suggestions, & truly listened to what we wanted.After a few slight itinerary tweaks, we had the major sites in Rome, Florence & Venice, along with two bucket list items – Capri/the Amalfi Coast and walking the unforgettable Cinque Terre, covered. She worked impressively within our budget to give us a top-end experience at a reasonable price point. We referred to her app throughout the trip so that all the details we needed were always at our fingertips. She did a superb job of booking the tours we wanted with the most knowledgeable tour guides and balancing that against free time to explore on our own.

Reviewed By Helen - Laguna Niguel, Ca | Traveled to France ~ Europe
I was planning a trip to France and was too busy to do anything. I talked to Rosemary over the phone as we live in different states. On our initial conversation I explained what I wanted and didn't want. She asked great questions and went to work on the entire trip. We modified her plan very little.
I can say that Rosemary nailed it for me!! From hotels to tours to the travel. I will use her on every trip from now on! Very professional and personable.

First Class Professional
Reviewed By Susan - Rochester, NY | Traveled to Italy ~ Europe
You simply did an outstanding job tailoring our trip to our groups unique interests and needs. The hotels were all very clean, comfortable, friendly and accomodating. And equally as important, they were all in excellent locations- safe and within walking distance from so many main attractions. The transportation service we used- again outstanding. All the activities you helped us choose were educational, interesting and sooo much fun for the entire group (including seven 18-23 year olds). I can't say enough about them. We had 11 days worth of truly magical moments. You are a first class professional and we are so grateful for your guidance and help. This trip was reasonably priced and was far superior to the large group tour (Perillo) I went on years ago. It will truly be forever etched in all of our hearts. Mille grazia!
✓ I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Client Testimonials
Italian Flavors Unleashed
What a fantastic trip we had. Thank you for all the hard work you did! Everything flowed very well.
To start, we loved Venice! The hotel in Venice was top notch, the best of the 3 hotels! Verona was awesome, and the winery tour was absolutely incredible! I think Bologna was my favorite! It has a significant university presence. Safe with spirit. The trip to the prosciutto, and parmesan factories was really good. Our guide was great! Our villa in Montelopio was beautiful. You just can't get a bad view in Tuscany! Marziana was a delightful host! The biggest treat was having her chef friend come and cook for us! Very special. We love Florence and it was great to see it again! The history of all the cities was amazing. Truffle hunting and the cooking class was over the top good. Great wines there also, great people! We loved Lucca also!
The whole trip was set up very well. A truly fantastic, memorable trip set up extremely well! All our travel plans went smoothly.

Our European Venture: Spain & Portugal
You did an amazing job planning our vacation. We were very impressed with your hotel selections and their locations. You wove everything together beautifully for us so we didn’t have to worry or stress. The tours were both very good and covered everything we wanted to see.
I absolutely loved Barcelona. I would go back in a heartbeat. That was the hottest part of our trip but the location you picked was so excellent that we got to see the Gothic quarter and El Baro. Despite reading how much they hate us American tourist, we thought the people were very friendly and polite and we had no issues and didn’t feel unsafe anywhere.
We are beach people so we really liked the Algarve. The hotel we stayed at was our favorite and my favorite town was probably Carvoeiro. Seeing the caves was a stand out.
We had an amazing time and thanks again for everything you did to make it that way!

Just a note to thank you and let you know that out trip was wonderful! Great weather, very nice people, beautiful scenery, the best guides possible, complete support, fantastic bikes, well planned routes, top notch hotels, interesting activities, and the meals made this the trip of a lifetime. Being with my sons for two weeks was the highlight! There aren't words to convey the joy I experienced! Thanks again!

Caribbean Motion: Spa & Wellness Adventure
Body Holiday was fantastic and just what we wanted. We worked out twice a day, walked up 100 steps 5 times a day, had a delightful spa treatment and ate healthy food. All in all, it was a wonderful trip — we would recommend to others — we may go back. There are people that have been going there for 20 plus years!

Trip was great.
Accommodations were in a beautiful location and conveniently located.
Everyone in our family enjoyed it immensely.
You do a great job communicating and setting us up for success.
Would highly recommend you to other potential travelers.
So refreshing to be out of Central NY during the winter months.
Look forward to working with you again soon.
