Mauro Clerici
Founder and Tour Lead
I’m Mauro Clerici, founder of Vesping Around — a boutique travel company that crafts intimate experiences across Italy. My background blends years in wellness coaching, hospitality, and cultural travel, all centered on connection and authentic experiences. I design small-group itineraries that highlight Italy’s hidden gems — from vineyard dinners and artisan workshops to scenic countryside rides — offering travelers a deeper, more personal way to explore. At the core of everything I do is a passion for slow travel, genuine human connection, and showcasing the Italy that locals know and love.
​
I know Italy beyond the guidebooks — the backroads that wind through vineyards, the family trattorie where time slows down, and the small towns where real life happens. From Tuscany to Puglia and Sicily, I don’t just show places; I share the stories, people, and moments that make each region come alive. My goal is to help travelers experience Italy the way Italians do — with authenticity, flavor, and connection.
