I was born and raised in Rome, where I graduated in Art History from La Sapienza University. My studies gave me a strong foundation in the history of art and architecture, as well as a lasting passion for Italy's rich cultural heritage. I later moved to Palermo, a city that immediately fascinated me with its extraordinary mix of cultures, history and artistic influences. Here, I collaborated with RISO, (Museo d'Arte Contemporanea della Sicilia), an experience that further deepened my interest in modern and contemporary art. This background continues to shape my ongoing and future art projects, as well as the way I look at and interpret the places I visit. As a licensed tour guide, I love sharing Palermo through a personal and engaging perspective. I have a particular passion for discovering the stories, details and unexpected connections that often remain hidden behind the city's most famous monuments. I also have a gift for finding curious corners, unusual facts and lesser-known stories that can make a place truly memorable. Whether we are exploring Palermo's extraordinary Arab-Norman heritage, its Baroque architecture, lively markets or contemporary cultural scene, I enjoy creating tours that combine art, history and local culture with curiosity and enthusiasm. My goal is to help visitors experience Palermo not simply as a destination, but as a living, fascinating city, full of stories, contrasts and hidden treasures waiting to be discovered.
