Laura Notarbartolo founded Italian Special Occasions DMC because she wanted to create unique, authentic and creative events for Corporate Meeting and Incentive Travel clients coming to Italy from all over the world.
After over 10 years of work experience traveling across Europe and studying different realities around the world, she felt that she was ready to undertake a personal challenge. Her dream was to create a company based on her experiences and her knowledge of Italy, supported by great local network. Most of all, she wanted a team of people who believe that Italy is not just Rome, Florence or Venice, but so much more than that: hidden gems, ancient traditions, art and seasonal activities. There is so little knowledge of what this country can offer, and her challenge is to spread the possibilities to organise events in the most unknown places in Italy, coordinating and supporting local suppliers. For Laura, creating memorable experiences in a country with such rich history and iconic venues, is very fulfilling.
