Remember Mario Perillo? His son announces spring tours to Italy
Who knew Perillo Tours, the 75 year old business started by “Mr. Italy” Himself, Mario Perillo, is a New Jersey company? Since 1945, three generations of the Perillo family have perfected the art of traveling to Italy and now, Mario’s son Steve is at the helm of the Woodcliff Lake company.
New Jerseyans have long been interested in travel to Italy. Perhaps even more than any other European destinations. I’ve always thought it’s because we have so many residents of Italian heritage here in New Jersey. But it could just be its legendary beauty, history and culinary bounty that make it one of the most popular foreign destinations for New Jersey residents. And so many of us have had to put off travel, especially to Europe.
