About us
Giannini Cars and Busses was founded by my father, Antonio Giannini in 1948. At that time, it was the primary transportation service for the Vatican as well as tourists and pilgrims visiting Rome and the Vatican. When my brother Leonello and I inherited the business nearly 30 years later, we expanded it and began providing transportation services to travel agencies worldwide as well as for RAI - Radiotelevisione Italiana's - technical crews, journalists, and celebrities.
And I am proud to say that my son Daniele, 26, has joined my brother Leonello and I to carry on the Giannini business. (And, while Leonello and I are "experts" in all things historic and cultural, Daniele definitely offers a great deal of knowledge about the exciting "nightlife" Italian cities have to offer).
Over the years, the travel needs of our clients expanded, as did our familiarity with the various cultures and regions of Italy. In the past 20 years, my brother and I have covered many, many miles exploring the beauty, history, art, wine and food available in every region of Italy (both for work and, of course, for pleasure). We have discovered villages that haven't changed since the 14th century, tiny chapels hidden in even tinier towns filled with art and sculpture that will take your breath away, seaside restaurants that are known only to locals for their unmatched cuisine. After a great deal of contemplation, ouritaly.com was created in 1999 to get information about our special transportation and travel services out to the world in the most efficient and informative manner possible--and to invite discerning travelers to share in our glorious discoveries.
We are true lovers of Italy. Of course, we were born and raised here. But we have traveled the world and can honestly say that there is no other place we'd rather be.
