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!

Overview of your Ravenna tour

Anyone who comes to visit my city cannot leave without having tried a piadina or a crescione. As street food it is usually sold in small green and white kiosks along the main roads and in the beach villages on the Adriatic Coast Actually It is a kind of flat bread, circular like a pizza but without yeast, it's perfect to be paired with cold cuts and cheese. If you fold a piadina in half and fill it with tasty ingredients it will become a Crescione, very similar to a calzone, but you won't even need a oven to cook it! And what about if you deep fry the dough? you will obtain a delicious Gnocco Fritto! There is a huge variety of stuffing and it is a very versatile dish. Ideal food for an aperitif or to create appetizers for your parties. This live virtual cooking class allowed you to experience the genuine taste of the most popular appetizer of Ravenna This is an INDOOR Live Virtual Tour delivered personally and live by myself from my kitchen in Ravenna using 'live video conferencing software

Your Ravenna tour itinerary

Check in and introduction First of all we will check the ingredients and tools to make sure we have everything Following my instruction and mixing 5 simple ingredients you will obtain a soft dough, very smooth to handle. The dough need to rest about 15 minutes and in the mean time we will prepare the ingredients to refill the cresione. Then with the help of a rolling pin we will roll out the dough to obtain a thin and circular shape of about 20 cm of diameter. The cooking time is very short, it takes a little bit more to cook the crescione. The deep fried version of piadina is even faster. I can customize this virtual tour in according to your dietary needs. if you have any question feel free to ask, I can help you to find the right ingredients to replace, to garnish the crescione or piadina following your personal tastes If you like another of my virtual tours I'll be available to customize a combo like main course plus dessert **a good internet connection is required to experience this tour
