ITALY: Italian Safari

[CBH Australia]

Sounds amazing. I hope to visit Italy one day. Probably for the food and anything else will be a bonus.
Spaghetti, Salami, Cheese and Olives are among my favourites.

Wow. What a trip. Congrats on the trophies as well.

Thanks for sharing your experience. These kind of mixed hunting/tourist trips appeal to me more all the time. That boat is a beast!
I remember back in the late 70s and early 80s when I was a kid, some cattlemen started importing chianina into our area. They quickly earned the reputation that there wasn’t a fence that could keep them in!

Wan, Did you use an agent to book the hunts ?

I just returned to USA as well. Great trip with same outfit. Saw wonderful art, culture,and people. My wife and I really enjoyed.

2027 we have a tentative date for this exact safari. Is this with Italian safaris? I would love to know the name of the shop if you have time to PM me. It’s not hard to talk the wife into this trip. Thanks for sharing.

I booked directly with Italian Safaris. They are great to work with.

This was with Italian Safaris. We booked with Leoni. The shop is owned by our very own @Phil Giordano. I suggest you PM directly with him on the particulars. It is not far from the Vatican.

I suspect that if you show your wife these pics she will be 100% on board!

I know that many Italians who settled here in Australia before I was born still had a hunting culture that probably makes up part of who we are.
I know people hunt in European countries too but had not considered Italy as a Safari destination.
My Great Grandmother had Italian parents . She used to come out bush with us when u was a kid. I remember one night we got the first rabbit she said ok we have mine we can go home now. I’m sure she was joking as we got a few more before we turned back.
As for me I’m waiting on winter again so I can make some home made salami just like the Italians do who carry on the family tradition here.

[Troubleshooter]

You and your wife certainly did this one up the right way! Congratulations on both the boar and the roe deer.

I have to give a shout out to Leone and his group. Aleo Carrassi was my personal guide throughout the trip. Top notch organization with great people who are responsive and always available
