Select Italy's Andrea Sertoli Makes
Travel & Leisure Magazine's 2009 Travel Agent A-List

New York, October 2009 – For the eighth consecutive year Andrea Sertoli, President of Select Italy, has made Travel & Leisure magazine’s A-List of top travel agents. The prestigious list, published in the October 2009 issue of T+L, is compiled and released after a comprehensive evaluation of thousands of travel agents, with this year’s A-List status being conferred on only 129 of “the best in the business.”

Roman-born Sertoli founded Select Italy in 1997 out of the desire to offer a specialized, custom-oriented travel service with the ability to create state-of-the-art tours and itineraries. New discoveries are routinely added to the company’s portfolio – but are never routine. Thanks to its vast network of suppliers and cultural contacts and adherence to the highest standards of professionalism, Select Italy has established itself as the ultimate source for travel to Italy.

“It’s an honor to have earned T+L’s A-List designation for the eighth year in a row,” says Sertoli, “and we’re more committed than ever to bringing the best that Italy has to offer to discerning travelers.” With Sertoli at the helm and an expert travel staff behind him, along with an innovative Website – www.selectitaly.com -- that offers the industry's widest selection of vacation options for the Italy-bound traveler, Select Italy capably crafts the perfect trip, steering its varied clientele to the most enjoyable vacation in Italy possible.

In previous years, Sertoli has proffered Dream Trips and top tips along with his A-List agent designation. So what’s in store for 2010? “We will offer a new, individual Sicily & Aeolian Islands itinerary that will include visits to Taormina and the seductive islands of Salina and Stromboli, ” Sertoli says, “as well as a nine-day, $100,000 Italian ‘trip of a lifetime’ that will feature a range of luxury bespoke experiences in various locations.” Details of both itineraries will be made available on www.selectitaly.com.
