In recent years, Vivere Slow, following contacts with several families living in New Orleans, where there is the largest community of "contessioti" who emigrated to America, has created, explored and refined unique and personalized experiences in their land of origin.
genealogy research;
meeting with currently living families
organization of lunches, dinners and/or tastings of typical products promoting traditional cuisine and typical menus;
specific visits to the families' places of origin and to places of greatest historical and cultural importance;
organization of bus or car transfers;
English-speaking guide;
providing an experience that aims to satisfy the needs of the individual or the entire family group.
Always keeping in mind the objective of promoting history, culture, traditions, minority languages, archaeology, nature and excellent products of the territory, Vivere Slow essentially aims to provide a unique, authentic and real experience to discover one's roots as a " sentimental journey within oneself" that can leave an indelible mark, from that moment on, in the future life of every guest who comes to visit us and live experiences with us.
It is impossible to describe the joy we felt accompanying the various visiting families with whom we shared the highly emotional impact during the meeting with relatives or at the sight of a birth certificate or the street where our ancestors were born and lived.
Strong in the belief that mass tourism is not suitable for our land, Vivere Slow has conceived and developed the "Sense of Hospitality" and "Roots Tourism" as essential values ​​and, in its many activities that it has been carrying out for over twelve years has always aimed at quality, authentic and unique tourism that builds relationships and bonds with all the guests who come to visit us and who demonstrate the pleasure of returning because now also Vivere Slow is part of their family as they are part of the great Vivere Slow family.
For this reason, "Roots Tourism" is not aimed exclusively at those seeking family ties, but also at all generations of emigrants in every part of the world who return periodically to meet relatives and who, with Vivere Slow, can come into contact with the history and places of their land of origin, discovering even its most identifying aspects, culture, archaeology, art, nature and traditions which, alone, they would not have the opportunity to know and experience, living an experience rich in meaningful and more rewarding from a human and cultural perspective.
