Steve Perillo

Steve Perillo (born September 29, 1955)[1] is the president and owner of Perillo Tours, having taken over from his father,[2] Mario Perillo, "Mr. Italy", and represents the 3rd generation of the 75-year-old family business. He is sometimes referred to as "Mr. Italy, Jr." as a reference to his father's famous nickname.[3][4]

Following in his father's footsteps of direct pitch TV ads for travel, his well known commercials have been parodied by Adam Sandler on Saturday Night Live.[5]

In addition to running his travel business, he is also a published composer of classical music[6]
