Hi everybody! My name is Silvia and I'm a professional licensed guide of Ravenna since 2000. I think being a tour guide is the most beautiful job in the world! It makes me travel even if I don't move thank to the different people and culture I can meet every day. I feel very lucky and proud to be born in Ravenna and it is an honor for me to be one of the ambassadors of her Beauty. I'll take you through a journey from the ancient glorious past of the city to the diversity of nowadays. I was born in this quiet town in the not so far 1980, this is the place where I've been raised and there is no other city where I'd like to live more than this one. All of my family comes from the countryside, my grandparents were farmers and carpenters, but my parents moved to the city in order to work in the tourism field. In fact, I've inherited the passion for travel and for discovering from my parents, and the intense bond with my land, the passion for its traditions, its genuine food, the love for restoration and conservation from my grandparents. I am also passionate about art and design. I attended the Academy of Fine Arts of the city where I studied the mosaic technique, and in my free time (not so much!) I like to create mosaics artworks and bring antique furniture back to life. My daily goal is to make visitors feel like part of the city, like a tile of its fascinating mosaics, showing them Ravenna through the eyes of the people who live here, and let them leave with the desire to come back. I will be more than happy to offer my experience and professionalism to make the most suitable tour of Ravenna for your needs. I propose different itineraries, to meet the interests of different kind of groups: from the historic-monumental tour to the local food folklore, through the fascinating Bizantine mosaics, to the contemporary artist's studios. Please feel free to ask if you have any question and don't hesitate to join me in one of my tours!

INDOOR Live Virtual Tour conducted by me from my home in Ravenna using live video-conferencing software
Overview of your Ravenna tour
Who doesn't know tiramisù? there are many ways to do it, but with my recipe I ensure you the best result. Only fews ingredients for one of the quickest and most delicious Italian dessert ever. In my Region people become crazy for this dessert and all local restaurants can't miss to offer Tiramisù in their menù. Zuppa Inglese is another dessert typical of my Region, Emilia Romagna, not so famous all over the word, but it deserves to be tried as a real masterpiece of the local tradition. Zuppa Inglese doesn't really come from England but it has a legendary provenance and its creation is still covered by mystery. It is a colorful creamy dessert, whose characteristic is the light use of a red liqueur, alchermes, which gives a unique flavor to the "cake".

Well now I want to visit Italy ASAP! Such a lovely guide (Silvia), and such amazing flavours! Silvia was very encouraging as well as helpful and easy to follow throughout the class. We loved the mini history lessons she gave in regards to the origins of the desserts, very fascinating! Both desserts are soooooo delicious, they certainly did not last long in our home . . . Overall we had a very good time with Silvia, I absolutely recommend to anyone and everyone! Thank you Silvia!

Sylvia was a wonderful tour guide and instructor. She taught us to make two different Italian desserts in one hour and gave great instructions. She also provided history and color about Ravenna where is lives. We all enjoyed her and her class tremendously.

Silvia is great. As we cannot travel at the moment. I brought a little bit of Italy to my kitchen. I booked an online cooking class with Silvia. The time difference was so easy it was 5.30 pm Sydney time, and 9.30 am Italian time. So a perfect combination for both parties. Silvia taught me how to make a traditional Tiramisu and Zuppa Inglese, which is an original recipe from the Romagna Region. Before we made each recipe, she told me the history of each dessert which is so fun to know. I highly recommend.
