Cinzia was great. In just one hour she gave us a solid understanding of Ravenna’s place in Christian history and the wonderful mosaics we saw. Highly recommended.

I am a licensed guide in Ravenna and Emilia Romagna. I was born in Ravenna and I love my job very much. It gives me the opportunity to meet people from all over the world. I can talk about the monuments in town, showing them not only the famous and gorgeous mosaics but also revealing hidden corners of the fascinating city of Ravenna. Every day I am enriched by the enjoyment of my clients and their happy eyes and smiles as they discover more than they ever thought about our wonderful history and beauty. After study and training courses , I have been working as a Tourist Guide and Enviromental Guide for many years; in Spring I work mostly with students, from primary to high school offering them city tours and excursions in nature. I like to create interesting itineraries such as: romantic tours, Hidden Ravenna, birdwatching in the Wetlands and in the Basilicas discovering other sorts of birds, made with glass paste…. . Ask me please, I will be pleased to propose something especially for you according to your own personal interest! A good review about Ravenna and me on NYT: http://www. nytimes. com/2015/03/01/travel/ravenna-italy-glittering-still. htlm The regional tour guide license obtained in 1997, for enviromental guide license in 2005. Many local training courses and more than 20 years of professional experience in Ravenna and surroundings, working also in many occasions for Hospitality Desk .

Very well done tour combining history, iconography and technical information. Cinzia is delightful and knowledgeable. Highly recommended
Jill M.United States
We just returned from two weeks in Italy, and our day in Ravenna was a highlight. Took the train from Bologna for a half day outing with Cinzia and couldn't have been happier. This isn't a standard scripted tour of "must see" locations. Cinzia has a wealth of knowledge about art, history, and religion and can engage at all levels. The stories and insight that she shared enhanced our whole trip!
Janet B.United States
Our tour with Cinzia was superlative in every way. She is extremely knowledgable, she is lively and she cares very much about what we wanted to see and do. My husband and I have art backgrounds and we hired Cinzia to help us orient the various sights historically and also to provide information about mosaic techniques and symbolism used in the artworks. She also provided a lot of historical information about Ravenna from prehistory through the present. We spent 3 hours with her and it was priceless.
