Hi everybody! My name is Silvia and I'm a professional licensed guide of Ravenna since 2000. I think being a tour guide is the most beautiful job in the world! It makes me travel even if I don't move thank to the different people and culture I can meet every day. I feel very lucky and proud to be born in Ravenna and it is an honor for me to be one of the ambassadors of her Beauty. I'll take you through a journey from the ancient glorious past of the city to the diversity of nowadays. I was born in this quiet town in the not so far 1980, this is the place where I've been raised and there is no other city where I'd like to live more than this one. All of my family comes from the countryside, my grandparents were farmers and carpenters, but my parents moved to the city in order to work in the tourism field. In fact, I've inherited the passion for travel and for discovering from my parents, and the intense bond with my land, the passion for its traditions, its genuine food, the love for restoration and conservation from my grandparents. I am also passionate about art and design. I attended the Academy of Fine Arts of the city where I studied the mosaic technique, and in my free time (not so much!) I like to create mosaics artworks and bring antique furniture back to life. My daily goal is to make visitors feel like part of the city, like a tile of its fascinating mosaics, showing them Ravenna through the eyes of the people who live here, and let them leave with the desire to come back. I will be more than happy to offer my experience and professionalism to make the most suitable tour of Ravenna for your needs. I propose different itineraries, to meet the interests of different kind of groups: from the historic-monumental tour to the local food folklore, through the fascinating Bizantine mosaics, to the contemporary artist's studios. Please feel free to ask if you have any question and don't hesitate to join me in one of my tours!

Have you ever tried Gnocchi? Gnocchi di Patate are one of the most popular dish in Italy, very simple, even for beginners. The roots of this dish are lost in the past, it probably appears for the first time in XVI century, after Cristoforo Colombo discovered America and brought the first potatoes to Europe on his travel back home. There are many versions of gnocchi and a huge variety of sauces to combine with. I have choosen for you my favorite one, the ingredients are cheap and easy to find wherever you are. If you like pasta and the typical Italian taste of melting cheese with tomatoes you can't miss this recipe! Tis is an INDOOR Live Virtual Tour conducted by me from my home in Ravenna using live video-conferencing software
Fantastic! My family and I joined our family overseas for a cooking class with Siliva. She was incredibly patient, friendly and very professional. She sent us additional recipes as well. The gnocchi was amazing and we can't wait to do another course with her.
If you want to have fun cooking (especially when stuck at home during COVID) and want to learn and enjoy a fantastic Italian meal, make a great memory of it and sign up for Sylvia's tour! Sylvia was thoroughly enjoyable as she taught us how to cook 2 dishes--gnocchi dizucca and tiramasu--a specially made tour for us. It was simple and easy, and as a bonus, we learned more about Northern Italy / Ravenna from her as a local tour guide! Thank you again, Sylvia! We loved it.
What a fun experience! Silvia was delightful in addition to being very thorough, organized and easy to follow. We had everything ready to go and she expertly led us through all the steps to making gnocchi. Enjoying the finished meal was the best part. While we can't travel to Italy right now, we felt like we were in Sylvia's Ravenna kitchen.
I was given the most wonderful gift for mother's day!All of our adult kids were able to join online and even though we were in 3 different locations in Canada it felt like we were all right there together with her in her Italian kitchen,enjoying our time as a family.Silvia was an amazing guide,so personable and willing to answer many different questions.She gave us great instructions ahead of time so that we were all very well prepared for the class. We all had an incredible time and now plan to visit!
The food was delicious, and Silvia was an amazing guide and teacher. She was very patient, the instructions she gave were easy to understand and everything was organized very well before and during the tour. It was a great experience.
