I’m Andrea — nature & hiking guide, forager, artist, architect and photographer. I was born in La Spezia and I’ve spent a third of my life traveling — on personal journeys, scientific expeditions as a photographer and assistant, and as a travel companion. My artistic work is rooted in analog photography, where I explore light, textures and the quiet details of the natural world. I’ve also worked in fashion portraiture and as a personal shopper for vintage clothing and interior pieces in Milan and Florence. These experiences taught me how to read people, atmospheres and style with precision and ease. When useful, I can bring professional equipment to create portraits, visual notes or small botanical compositions during the day. As a forager and long‑time explorer of these hills, I often integrate wild plants into the experience: a leaf to dry, a scent to remember, a small herb diary to take home. Sometimes we craft natural incense from local species — a simple, elegant way to carry the landscape with you. I’m comfortable with every kind of traveler — from relaxed visitors to high‑end clients. I adapt naturally, sometimes with a small change in clothing, sometimes simply through presence, discretion and attention. My style is calm, respectful and understated. Each outing is shaped around the person in front of me: scenic or introspective, slow or energetic, classic or off‑the‑beaten‑path. Beauty often hides in small details — a shift of light, a texture under your fingers, a story carried by a plant. My role is to help you notice them, and to create a moment that feels grounded, personal and truly yours. If you’re looking for a guide who blends practicality, culture and a touch of artistry, I’d be glad to explore this corner of the world with you.

Overview of your La Spezia tour

The city of La Spezia overlooks a small gulf of wonderful landscape value, at a latitude that has allowed it to be a hinge between European culture and the more typically Mediterranean and maritime culture. This has been reflected in the gastronomic culture, in the forms of architecture and the colors of the paintings created by frequently passing artists, engaged in the "Grand Tour" journey from the continent to southern Italy, seeking inspiration from the wonders of classicism. That's where the nickname "Gulf of Poets" comes from, and rightly so, as it is embellished by the presence of many small but precious villages, often of medieval origin. There are plenty of options to explore and admire this land, and here's one . With a private driver, we'll discover the West side of the bay, heading Portovenere and stopping along the way to walk around some of the villages, less crowded than other spots, and therefore precious / "Seeking a vernacular beauty, along the coast".
