My passion for art history, visual storytelling, and the beauty of sacred and ancient spaces has guided both my studies and my work. When you join one of my tours, you’re not just visiting monuments—you’re stepping into centuries of beauty, meaning, and inspiration. I love creating custom itineraries for travelers from all over the world. Whether you're passionate about history, fascinated by religious art, or simply curious to see what makes this city so magical, I’ll make sure your journey is both unforgettable and stress-free. Most of my tours include entrance tickets and transportation, so you can just focus on enjoying every moment. Let’s explore together! Qualifications: * Board certified tour guide * Master's in Sacred Art Studies * Degree in Conservation of Cultural Heritage * Accredited by the Diocese of Ravenna for the “Art and Faith Itineraries”, after completing a specialized training program promoted by the Archdiocese of Ravenna in collaboration with the Pontifical Gregorian University of Rome. For tours requiring private transportation, my trusted professional driver will accompany us throughout the journey.
