Elio

Elio of Alba in Piedmont, Italy, works with Mama Margaret & Friends on their Piedmont, Riviera and Tuscany tours. He heads Associazione Trekking in Langa and has been Mama's expert in Piedmont's Barolo wine country in Italy since 1994. He was born right in the area so he takes you to his favorite places to meet a long list of wonderful local characters.

He's also well known for his detailed Barolo and Barbaresco wine country walking path maps. He's walked and labeled every path so he knows a lot of people and places to take you to. He's also very knowledgeable about the lovely Cinque Terre and Southern Tuscany.
