arolyn Masone and Jefferson Harman have created
Essence of Italy to offer a unique perspective on the Italian experience.
Whether you're an armchair traveler or a frequent flyer,
here you will find beautiful images
along with entertaining podcasts and travel writings.

Carolyn is a professional photographer and travel writer
who has made Italy her subject for over a decade.
Her images create a visual chronicle of her appreciation
and deep attachment to this alluring country.

Her work has been shown along the East Coast of the United States and appears
in private collections nationwide as well as England, France, Italy and Australia.
Together with Jefferson's audio and visual designs, they hope to create a
website where lovers of Italy will return again and again.

Americans of Italian descent,
they currently reside in the United States.
