Historical and cultural roots are a precious heritage, and they are human, therefore international. We have a duty to pass on through encounters and cultural exchanges. This is what Venice and its history taught me. A guided tour is first and foremost an exchange. The approach to a city like Venice, even during a short visit, has to be guided, keeping in mind that each of usi s unique and therefore special. Even though the itineraries and places are within well-defined routes, there is no standard visit. At the end of the tour people do not take home only beautiful photos and the memory of historical, artistic and architectural information. The goas is to take home a positive experience, a memory also through emotions.
Alongside the classics, I love creating less predictable itineraries, such as the Rainbow Threads® Tour, built around layered narratives, surprising details, and hidden corners.
I also design experiences for companies: cultural team-building tours for groups, with light and engaging activities—an ideal way to share Venice as a team.
My curiosity about places and cultures is what drove me to explore other countries and now makes my work as a tour guide rich in opportunities to build connections with travelers visiting Venice and Italy.
I have a background in humanities and linguistic studies, a degree in Foreign Languages. I worked in different fields as corporate, school system, social services. I taught in private and public schools, a long experience working also as a family counselor and company coach. My love for Venice and its countryside, my two roots, has always inspired my job.
