Lauren Pellegrino had a dream for a family vacation - a week together to enjoy the high art, culture, music and food of Italy. Her parents, Pat & Franco had always longed to connect with their Italian-American heritage, but had never had the chance to travel to the land of their ancestors.

Thanks to Select Italy, the Travel Channel and Travel + Leisure Magazine, the Pellegrino family dream came true and their vacation was showcased on the popular Travel Channel show, Trip of a Lifetime.
