Ciao! I'm Alessandro and I'm a local tourists guide of Pisa, Lucca and Volterra since 2008, but everyone here calls me Ale. My country is my passion and a treasure that wants to be discovered and I'm here to let you dive into my world. I was born in Pisa and grew up in an XII century tower, spending my childhood in the surroundings of the Leaning Tower. My parents have been the first tourists guides I have evere had and they taught me that even an empty wall could be an open book to read. I'm a theatrical actor, since I was 11 and I have a degree in foreign languages (English, Spanish and Romanian) and a specialization in medieval art. It will be a privilege to show you my city, my traditions, to make you feel home, leaving everything behind. We can work together to create your perfect tour. On my favorite book, The legend of 1900, you can read this: "You're never really done for, as long as you've got a good story and someone to tell it to". I really believe it and I'll tell you all the stories I have learnt. Ready? Andiamo! (let's go!)

A tour to discover the divine comedy in Pisa
Overview of your Pisa tour
Everyone knows Dante Alighieri and the divine comedy. The narrated characters, the places mentioned, represent the highest example of Italian poetry. I always thought that Dante hated the city of Pisa, given the rivalry with Florence, but rereading the poem I discovered another side of his personality, which reveals a deep respect for the Maritime Republic. I love this tour! When I describe the frescoes of the Campo Santo I relive every moment of my school education, of the legends of my city. The stories of Count Ugolino terrified me as a child. I will tell you, as my family told me! Ready?
