Hi, my name is Francesco. I would like to welcome you to my warm and welcoming Emilia Romagna. I was born and raised in Ravenna but I have lived in Bologna for many years. I am a tour guide and a tour leader with a regular license and since I am a professional wine taster I have chosen to tell my territory giving great importance to the food and wine aspect. First of all I would say that I feel like a traveler. I have had travel experience on almost every continent. As a traveler, I like to blend in with the local people and learn from them the secrets of the place visited. In every place I visit then, I love to taste the local delicacies. I also give great importance to storytelling. To what and how say something, for this reason I have devoted a lot of time to writing (another interest I have) and, lucky me. . . I have published three travel books, nationwide distributed (Recently tranlsated in English and available on Amazon) So, my idea of traveling and touring is to get to know people with a local perspective, to get to know the historical and gastronomic culture and to know how to tell it. This is my idea of travel and what I try to spread to the travelers I meet! Contact me without hesitation for any information or to customize your tour!

Discover Fascinating Gastronomy in a City of Art and Beauty
Overview of your Ravenna tour
If you are interested in discovering the flavors and aromas of the typical cuisine of Ravenna and the Romagna region, this tour is absolutely for you. I am a certified tour guide of this region, but also a food and wine lover. I do a lot of food tours in Bologna, but I was born and raised in Ravenna, here I graduated as a wine taster and I opened for some years my wine bar with service of local wine and regional food, so I designed this tour for all those who want to discover the foodie side of the city, but with some touches of our stunning art. This tour is mostly about experiencing food, wine and how it is made with some little stops about history and mosaic art (80% food / 20% art). We will see some monuments but not the most famous ones like Basilica di San Vitale and Mausoleum of Galla Placidia. For that kind of visit I suggest you to book my cultural art tour or ask me for a customization!
