My goal??? To show you my city with passion and energy! Together we will discover the city behind the facades! Walk through hidden courtyards off the beaten track and discover secret treasures and experience the real Milanese atmosphere, the one which reveals itself only to the natives. I was born in Milan from a real Milanese family and it was here that I went to school. With my grandparents I would wander through the narrow streets by bike and of course see the opera at la Scala , so I had the opportunity to learn and appreciate the tradition hidden behind a busy and modern business city. My luck starts with my name, Fedra, which comes from the ancient Greek mythology. My favorite subject is art with its history and I'm continuously studying to deepen my knowledge about this fascinating world. After graduation I went to Germany for 5 years to study tourism and later I worked for 19 years for the German Airlines at the front desk. I love working with people from different countries. Like every Italian I love food culture. . This is quality of life! Good food and wine belong to your Milan experience an so. . to our tour!

I have been a licensed tourist guide for Lombardy since 2009, Member of GITEC Guide Italiane Turismo e Cultura Official guide for Armani Silos I am not a driver guide but I can arrange trasportation upon request.

We will visit one of the hidden gems of the city, off the beaten paths of mass tourism, the incredible Picture Gallery of Brera, a magnificent collection of paintings from the 13 to the 19hundreds. While admiring the masterpieces by Caravaggio, Raffaello, Bellini and Mantegna we will see how food was represented thought the centuries and the hidden messages connected to it. We will then walk through Brera one of the most traditional district of the city. The apartments in this area are today among the most requested of the town, but not so many years ago my grandfather used to tell about the red light district and the stories connected to this place. We will admire small shops deisign windows and of course locals Osteria. From Tuesday to Sunday except the first Sunday of the month
The Picture Gallery of Brera is magnificent and I can't imagine anyone better to have guided us than Fedra. She is extraordinarily knowledgeable, enthusiastically in love with her city and the enormous collection of classical Italian art in this gallery. She was adaptable to the specific needs and wishes of our small group, expanding the tour to include a delightful breakfast and a guide to additional off-the-path city sights. When in Milan again, we will seek her out!
Fedra is a gem! She is incredibly knowledgeable, but careful not to overwhelm with details. Her tour of the picture gallery was a masterclass in smart storytelling. And her enthusiasm for the gallery and for Milan is infectious. I wish I could give her a 6!
Pedra was absolutely amazing in giving us this enjoyable tour of important masters and their works in the Brera Libray/Gallery. I'd recomand her to anyone thinking of booking this tour.
We absolutely loved our tour with Fedra. She was so knowledgeable about the Brera district and the Brera Picture Gallery. We had a great day with her and learned much about art and how to interpret the paintings. She did a great job of moving us through the gallery and explaining what we were looking at. Most of all, she made it fun and exciting. We would highly recommend doing a tour with Fedra. We wished we had another day in Milan to tour with her!
If there was a 6 star rating, Fedra would have it. We have had private tour guides around the world and she ranks in the very highest echelon. Her knowledge is deep and she shares it generously (without ever being pedantic), but it is her passion, joy, and energy that sets her apart. She is a natural storyteller, connects with people, and makes the art and the artists come alive. When we came upon a work she wanted us to see, it was as if she were reunited with a long and much loved friend. Stellar!
-The Picture Gallery of Brera. -Masterpieces like the evening meal in Emmaus by Caravaggio, a painting of the early 16hundreds, represents food as the symbol of the relaxed atmosphere at the end of a long journey. -We will walk through one of the most incredible collection of old masters and will admire many other paintings using food to represent sensations like sadness or sweetness, love of mothers to their children or the passion of life and death. . -We will finally enjoy the special atmosphere of Brera district walking through its small streets.
