My name is Minù.
Venice is the city of my mother's family and I have lived here nearly all of my life.

I have also lived in Paris, Vienna, Tehan and Berlin, and worked as a journalist for cinema magazines in Dublin and London. I am a graduate in Art History and Italian Literature from the University of Venice.

Living in Venice gave me the opportunity to specialize in contemporary art with the Guggenheim and the Art Biennale where I started giving tours in 1999. In recent years the Pinault and Prada Foundations have become part of my tours too. As a certified professional tourist guide and resident of Venice I am eager to show you the historical, art and architectural features of my city.

I'm a mom of twins and I know that visiting Venice with kids is not always easy, particularly in the rain. The city has so much to offer that there is always something of interest for every member of the family.

I consider myself lucky living and working in such an extraordinary city, this provides me with an authentic living experience that I'm ready to share with you my visitor clients.
As a licensed guide you can enter with me all museums, churches, historical buildings, art collections and exhibits. This means you'll always get first hand and qualified knowledge about the sites you'll visit.

I'm looking forward to see you in Venice!!

The Peggy Guggenheim Collection is one of my favourite museums in Venice, a truly magical place with incredible history. During my university career I was selected for a prestigious internship together with other students from all over the world, that gave me the possibility to study its works of art from a very special point of view together with the history of the gallery and many anecdotes on Peggy Guggenheim's life. The collection is among the most important museums in Italy for European and American art of the first half of the 20th century. It is located in Peggy's former home, Palazzo Venier dei Leoni on the Grand Canal. The museum presents Peggy Guggenheim's personal collection with masterpieces by the most important avant-garde European artists such as Picasso, Braque, Ernst, Miro' and Magritte together with American abstract expressionist Jackson Pollock.
