VeraItalia - Chiara Barbera

Born in Brisbane and raised in Scalea, Chiara Barbera tells us about the cultural interconnection project she conceived. “Our mission is to explore every corner, alley, and street to discover the hidden treasures in the local people who, with humility, carry on the customs that represent the true and simple beauty of Italian culture. We call these people the ‘Creatori della Cultura’ (Culture Creators), because they are the ones who give color to our country, keeping alive the traditions that make up our culture.” With these words, founder Chiara Barbera speaks about her intercultural connection project, which literally bridges Calabria and Australia by promoting ancient traditions. The young entrepreneur, an Australian from Brisbane of Italian descent, was captivated by the beauty of the Riviera dei Cedri during a trip and has since lived there for many months each year. From Brisbane in 2018, she decided to go to Scalea to personally meet her Calabrian relatives and delve deeper into her origins. Once there, she was captivated by the beauty of the Tyrrhenian coast and understood from the very first moments that she wanted to create a bond between her homeland and Calabria. Hence, the idea of opening a portal to give foreigners the opportunity to discover the Riviera dei Cedri and, above all, its traditions, not just culinary ones; one can take part in a grape harvest, olive picking, or visit a farm, learn to make cheeses, cook typical dishes, or create wicker baskets. «The options – says the young entrepreneur – are endless». Vera Italia offers authentic and engaging travel experiences that put you in direct contact with the people who make Italy unique. Through our experiences, we aim to evoke moments of wonder and connection with local communities, inspiring a more authentic and fulfilling journey, while contributing to the preservation of Italian traditions, stories, and cultural treasures. Every experience you book supports small communities, protects Italian traditions, and helps the local population preserve cultural heritage passed down from generation to generation.
