Hi! I'm a tour guide, tour manager and sommelier in Messina. I love my land and my work, every day with joy I show it to the many tourists who arrive. My tours are focussed on history, art, architecture, art, food, wines, traditions and culture. In addition, I love to show less frequented places by mass tours just to savour the genuineness of the place. ABOUT ME: My soul is divided in half: Roman mother and Sicilian dad. This allowed me to grow up with a broader view of things and life. I studied at the University of Rome 'Tor Vergata' and graduated in Cultural Heritage for tourism operators. In recent years my passion for the world of wine has increased: in 2021 I obtained my three-year diploma as a sommelier, in 2022 Wset 1 and in 2023 Wset 2. I love travelling, over the years for study and pleasure I have been to Belgium, Spain, USA, in addition to discovering the treasures of beautiful Italy. In my free time I enjoy handmade creations, a passion transmitted by both my mothers. What I love to do the most is to make handmade bijoux using various materials. I believe that this background of mine is important for the planning and delivery of my work because it allows me to be flexible to every need or preference of the traveller. Degree in « Cultural Heritage for Tour Operators » Régional Licence Tourist Guide (������������) License International Tour Manager License wset 1-2 I am not a driver. I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver.

Overview of your Messina tour
Messina has always had a great importance in the ancient geopolitical world thanks to its strategic position. Of Greek foundation, during the Middle Ages it became even more powerful economically. Unfortunately, today we cannot enjoy the beauty of its churches and monuments because an earthquake in 1908 destroyed its past. Despite this, the roots that unite the present with its glorious past are still strong. The tour of the city of Messina will be not only a trip to the past, but also a suggestive moment to appreciate the natural and scenic beauty of this special geographical area. The jewel of the tour is the bell tower that at noon will capture us with its movement keeping us with our nose up for about ten minutes
