Reneé Buccelletti
Co-Founder of VIVA & Southern California native, Reneé discovered her heart and home in Tuscany over a decade ago during a life-changing study abroad trip. With over 10 years of living, working, and embracing the Italian way of life, she honed her expertise in destination management for individuals, groups, and events. Tuscany has transformed her, teaching the value of slowing down, living simply, and savoring life’s everyday moments.
"We believe Italy’s magic isn’t found in checking off landmarks but in pausing to truly connect—with the land, it's history, the people and with ourselves." This philosophy inspired the creation of VIVA and our retreats, offering others the chance to immerse themselves in the authentic soul of Tuscany.
