Welcoming, friendly, smiling: I’m an enthusiastic tour guide in love with my job and my country.
Born and raised in Romagna, in a village on the hills surrounded by olive trees and vineyards, I grew immersed in history thanks to the amazong Florentine style buildings and fortifications that have always carried me through time.
I graduated naturally in art history and became a professional tourist guide passionate about the artistic heritage and the food traditions of my home land.
After spending many years abroad, it's been seven years that I live in the medieval heart of Bologna, a town that surprises me every day for the extraordinary richness in art and food masterpieces!
Four great passions all along my life: art history, pasta, vintage style and cats.
I became a licensed guide in 2017 and have never stopped loving this job ever since! Human warmth and empathy are very important to me, as well as irony and curiosity.
I like to travel, so much that I ended up graduating in France; then I came back to Bologna, where I have my roots and my affections.
From my family I learned a love for history, storytelling and food. I loved listening to the countryside stories and the war memories that my grandparents told me when I was a child.
I love talking and interacting with people a lot, but I'm a quiet type: I like snow, reading, tea with biscuits.
I have a tattoo with a Swedish inscription that reads: "jag är rädd för allt, beredd på allt". It means "I'm afraid of everything, ready for anything".
