Ciao! I'm Bianca, and I live in Florence. This is where I earned my degree in Art History, with a thesis on contemporary art, and later worked for a time as an independent curator. When I decided to become a tour guide, I didn't leave the contemporary behind, if anything, I found a way to weave together the city's present and its past, the city I love and chose to call home. I became an official tour guide in 2011, and I've never stopped deepening my knowledge of this city, which to me feels like a flower blooming every second. I've lived here for many years, and I can say that its history is incomplete without its local culture, its food, or its wine, which is why I often talk about them on my tours. Being surrounded by so much beauty is a privilege, and I love sharing it. I'll be glad to do so with you, whether in museums, in churches, or along a quiet little street. You'll find that beauty is almost always intact here, and that there's always something that speaks to us. I look forward to helping you enjoy this city, where masterpieces are around every corner, and I'll be truly happy to see the wonder on your face. It will be a pleasure to tailor the tour to your preferences! I lead tours in Italian and English. I'm not licensed to drive during tours, but I can arrange a driver service for you. Degree in Art History, 2004 Official tour guide since 2011

Overview of your Florence tour
Stepping into the Uffizi is not simply visiting a museum: it means witnessing the birth of an entirely new way of seeing the world. I will guide you through how Florentine painting, still bound to medieval conventions, began to break away from those very rules. Room after room, we will follow this transformation as it grows and takes shape, until it reaches the full splendor of the Renaissance, with its pursuit of perspective, harmony, and ideal beauty. The journey does not end there: we will continue further, up to the threshold of a new era, where light and shadow tell a different kind of story. Along the way, we will be accompanied by Giotto, Masaccio, Paolo Uccello, Botticelli, Piero della Francesca, Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Raphael, Titian, and, finally, Caravaggio.
