Ciao, welcome to my profile, willkommen auf meinem profil! I'm Katia and I have been a Licensed Tour Guide since 2009. I spent my childhood in Florence . Although I currently live in Livorno, my heart is tied to this city. I carry with me the scents of Florentine springs and summers and the beauties of the Cradle of the Renaissance in indelible memories from my childhood. I worked for years in different fields of Tourism & Hospitality (from hotels to restaurants) until I decided to turn my passion for Art history and love for Florence into a job, becoming an official Florence tourist guide. As such, my mission is to share all my love for Florence with you, by offering historical walks, visits to museums, churches and local markets, introducing you to the Italian art and history without forgetting food, anecdotes and those hidden details that will make you live for real a memorable Florentine experience. To me, a guided tour should give you a thrill that will eventually turn into an unforgettable memory. I love to guide people in a journey through my beautiful city, taking care of their needs with a touch of lightness and fun. I'm looking forward to meet you! Even if my calendar shows no availability, feel free to get in touch. I can organize private transportation by private car and driver. Just to clarify, I only arrange hotel or port pick-up and drop-off through the driver. I will meet you at the meeting point. For easy communication on the day of the tour, I suggest downloading WhatsApp on your smartphone.

Discovering florentine monastic live: Private Walking Tour
Overview of your Florence tour
Join me on a journey to explore the spiritual and architectural beauty of Florence's monastic life. We will visit the historic Monastery of San Marco, a place of great religious significance, renowned for its beautiful frescoes by Fra Angelico and its role in the spiritual life of Florence. In this monastery lived Savonarola, whose sermons led to the expulsion of the powerful Medici family at the end of the 15th century. We will also visit the portico of the Church of the Santissima Annunziata, frescoed by one of the most famous Florentine painters of the early 1500s, along with his assistants Pontormo and Rosso Fiorentino.
