Who we are
The Italea Valle d'Aosta team

Italea Valle d’Aosta

Italea is a project dedicated to both those who already know their Italian origins and wish to plan a trip to discover and reconnect with the places, customs and culture of their ancestors, and to those who still need to identify them, and who will be able to rely on a network of reliable genealogists.

The name Italea comes from “talea”, a practice that allows a plant to propagate. By cutting a part of it and replanting it, it can be given new life, growing new roots: just as it happens with migrations.

This program represents the gratitude of the “mother plant” to its own flourishing in the world.

Italea Valle d’Aosta is a young and dynamic team of professionals who have decided to live and work in Valle d’Aosta (Aosta Valley), Italy’s smallest region, believing in its many potentials.

Italea Valle d’Aosta is a reality that believes in the development of the territory through a fresh approach, listening to the present and its most contemporary and urgent issues. We work from a cultural and sustainable perspective in economic, environmental and human terms.

Tourism of the rootsrepresents a rich and innovative perspective to interpret the Aosta Valley territory and relaunch it with a new reading: a territory listening to its roots and ready to welcome the legacies that come from outside.

Those who decide to embark on the journey of roots with our support will come into contact with a welcoming, inclusive, specialized team that is passionate about their territory, with an eye toward internationalizing processes.

Our team deals with genealogical research, travel design, slow tourism, organization of custom-made activities in sports, culture, nature, and the creation of dedicated experiences .

Aosta Valley is a region with a multifaceted and unexpected migratory identity that, although numerically small, has many repercussions on modern and contemporary history. Its tourist vocation related to sports and nature brings many streams of people to travel and fall in love with our territory. For Italea Valle d’Aosta, this contamination represents a laboratory for the future in the tourist field.

The traces left in different historical periods by the people who inhabited and passed through Aosta Valley are many, above all the Romans, who made Aosta, the principal city of the region, the Rome of the Alps. The layers of monuments that take us from the Neolithic to the contemporary tell the story of a place of resilience open to passage, departure and return. A place that in recent history has seen migrations for economic and social reasons and is now ready to play the role of carrefour d’Europe. Will you join us?
