Who We Are

Le Vie della Perla is an incoming Tour Operator specialized on Calabria Destination and Southern Italy. It organizes tailor made tours, weekend break with local experiences, for small groups and individuals.

The company was born in 2000 when Brunella Brusco, Valeria Bisciglia and Maurizio Rovito decided to start this adventure.

Some years before, the Calabria Region made a tv advertisement where was a fascinating woman (Miss Italy 1997) who invited you to discover her land, Calabria, named “The Pearl of the Mediterranean Sea“.

Hence the idea that inspired the name and mission of the company: tracing the paths (=Le Vie) through which to get to know the pearl (=La Perla), which is Calabria. A black pearl, even more precious, a jewel to give as a gift.

Since 2000 we are still here, united by the desire to make known and discover our land, CALABRIA.

Brunella Brusco

After graduating in foreign languages, my passion for travel led me to specialize in “marketing and quality in tourism” and “networking in the tourism sector” and to obtain Director for Travel Agency license. I wanted to make my region known! So I founded first a tourist services company with Valeria and Maurizio. We organized guided tours and one day excursions, such as the one with the Steam Train in the beautiful Sila plateau. Then we collaborated with a Tour Operator specializing in school tourism. From 2005 to 2016 I was a member of the AIGAE Association (a national environmental guides association) as well as an instructor for basic hiking courses.

Valeria Bisciglia

Who would have thought that as a graduate in mathematics I would have been involved in tourism! On the other hand, my computer skills and advertising graphics knowing, combined with my love for my land, have helped to enhance the promotional activities of our company. I was also a member and basic instructor of the AIGAE Association from 2005 to 2016. Then, with Brunella, I attended a tourism web marketing class to acquire more skills in the communication and promoting better our travel proposals. Finally we decided to become an independent Tour Operator specialized on Calabria Destination. Thanks to our continuous training, we mind attention to the needs of the contemporary traveler.

Maurizio Rovito

Lovers of sports tourism and motorcycle travel, I joined the team to make my contribution thanks to my decades of experience in the communication and advertising sector.
