Marino was an absolute pleasure to work with. I took a trip to Italy and wanted to visit the hometown of my Grandmother. Marino went above and beyond in scheduling an amazing day trip to Penne. We went to a small vineyard to sample some great local wine, and had a terrific lunch, and then he drove us to Penne. He was able to line up a local to show us around. This local provided us with such a great perspective on the history as well as current happenings in Penne. It was a trip I'll never forgot.

Marino did a great job for me and my fellow travelers. He found one of my cousins before I arrived in Rivisondoli, Abruzzo. He arranged transport for five of us from the Rome airport to our hotel in Rivisondoli. Our driver, Riccardo was prompt, courteous and shared lots of information about the area as we were driving.
Marino arrived later in the day and took us to meet my cousin Renato and his wife Oksana and later we all had dinner at a wonderful restaurant, La Portella.
The next day he accompanied us to the town hall to find my grandparents' records. We were able to get a certified copy and even have our picture taken with the mayor!
He then went above and beyond and took us on a short trip to see the beautiful town of Pescocostanzo where he disappeared for a while saying that he had to take care of his parking. He was gone quite a while but when he returned he walked us to a fabulous restaurant, La Corniola, for a delicious lunch. We soon learned to where he had disappeared. He made photo magnets for all of us from the photos that he took in the previous days! We were overwhelmed.
Marino was a pleasure to deal with before and during our trip. I highly recommend Experience Bella Vita for an unforgettable travel experience to Abruzzo - a jewel in Italy.

My husband and I traveled to Italy for our 25th anniversary. As a second generation Italian immigrant, my husband was interested in finding out more about his Italian roots. Marino Cardelli was referred to us by a family friend as someone who had experience in ancestry research. Marino did an absolutely amazing job for us. he found the village that my husbands family was fun, helped us obtain transportation to the village, which was high up in the mountains 3 hours away from any City and, since we do not speak Italian, even met us at the village to translate for us. Marino was able to find birth records and marriage certificates which he used to create a family tree for us. He even interviewed people at the Village for us and from these interviews we learned a lot more about our family than we knew. He also found a living cousin of ours in the Village and from the information he learned from this cousin he was able to track the rest of our family who it turns out had emigrated to Canada. Thanks to Marino, we found a whole Canadian wing of the family we never knew existed. Throughout the process Marino was professional, fun to work with, was as interested in our family as we were and most importantly is simply superb at researching family history. It is evident that he has a passion for ancestry research. We are so immensely grateful to him for his outstanding work. I highly recommend Marino to anyone looking to find out more about their ancestors. We were so impressed with his work that we plan on working with Marino to discover my Sicilian roots next. It does not get any better than Marino!
