I'm from Siena, born here and I still live in the city; I'm a licensed local guide since 2014, I'm an art historian and I currently work as a guide and sometimes as an educational activities organizer for individuals and schools. So I really love bringing foreigner people to visit my city and discover its ancient traditions and wonders: the highlights as well as the hidden parts. I'm a member of Contrada del Nicchio (the Sea Shell District, one of the 17 neighborhoods of Siena) and also a member of the group of the contrada taking care about the Museum and the Oratory of the Nicchio Contrada. So I love to do Palio tours also for Italian and foreign tourists: tours focused on the Palio horse race, its history and its curiosities. I've been working in museums in Siena and its surroundings since 2006, thus I love museums and do guided tours there. For 2 years I've been responsible of the Museum of Sacred Art of Valdarbia in Buonconvento, a burg set along the Francigena's path. So I love also the Sienese countryside and its hamlets. For these tours I can accompany and take customers with public transport or with their vehicle or rental cars. I also adore to do food tours inasmuch as I like foreigners to taste our local cuisine and typical dishes, no less than our excellent wine and "vinsanto"!

The tour previews to discover the highlights of Siena, whose historical center was named a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1995. The tour starts from the main square, the shell-shaped Piazza del Campo where the Palio horse race is held on summer time: it is a century-old tradition, preceded by a historical parade in period costumes. The Campo houses the Town Hall, headquarters of the Sienese State since the end of the 1200s. At its left stands the 100-metres civic tower: Torre del Mangia, we'll discover the curious legend hidden behind its name, as well as the square's name is quite unusual. Then we will walk the main street and we will stop in the most important squares, which bear the name of historical local families and house magnificent noble palaces. Ending in Piazza Duomo, we will visit the cathedral, an architectural treasure chest that holds wonders of all eras: from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance and the Baroque Period.
