Three "words" to describe me? Contemporary art addicted, cat lover and passionate foodie. Born and raised in Bologna (although I spent a few years off in the UK), I know every inch of my town and how tricky it can be finding a good balance between traditional sightseeing (because let's be honest, there are some things that can't be missed!) and experience new stuff. After working for several years as an Art Event producer in Bologna and internationally, I know all the secret spells to create an "experience". Now it's time to take you through it! My tours are not just your usual art or food tour (although I can do that too if you want! :-) ) I will combine my passions and yours to create an experience that will suit you like a tailor-made dress, and show you what my beautiful city can offer you in a more unconventional way. As a local qualified guide I have access to all landmarks. Licenced National Tour Guide. Licenced tour leader. Licenced sommelier with AIS (Italian Association of Sommelier) MA in Curating Contemporary art I am only permitted to guide in ENGLISH and ITALIAN, although able to make conversation in French and understand Spanish too. I'm not a professional driver and cannot legally drive you around but I can join you in your car or hire a driver for our tour

Meet the producer & taste the authentic Traditional Balsamic Vinegar from Modena PDO
Overview of your Bologna tour
Departing from Bologna, we'll journey into the picturesque countryside to visit one of the few Traditional Balsamic Vinegar Houses of Modena—fewer than 100 exist. At the house, you’ll meet the producer and uncover the time-honored secrets behind the creation of the prized "Black Gold of Modena." The experience culminates in a tasting of Traditional Balsamic Vinegar DOP, where you’ll savor its rich, complex flavors straight from the spoon. You'll also enjoy a delightful "balsamic aperitivo," pairing different vinegars with a selection of local and homemade delicacies. Craving more? Add a taste of Parmigiano Reggiano cheese and Prosciutto by booking my "A Foodie Adventure: Modena Traditional Balsamic Vinegar & Parmigiano Reggiano Factory Private Visit & Tastings" tour, or simply send me a message
