This photo means a lot to me. I took it this morning from Palazzo Catalani Hilton Resort in Soriano nel Cimino.
Over ten years ago I worked there organizing tours and musical events. It was such a special time in my life — I made many great friends, and I’m still in touch with quite a few of them today. Back then, this beautiful garden with its stunning view didn’t even exist!
Leaving that job was quite a sad moment for me, especially saying goodbye to colleagues I was very close to.
A few weeks ago an agency hired me to take a couple of clients on a tour while they were staying there. This morning I arrived about half an hour early, secretly hoping I might run into some of the people I used to work with… and I got lucky! I met Sara and Davide and was also introduced to some of the new staff.
It felt really special to be back after so many years. Some places just stay in your heart, and Palazzo Catalani will always be one of them. 😊
