Hello everyone, and thank you for taking a look at my profile! I am an Art Historian, postgraduated at the University "La Sapienza" of Rome. I also obtained a master's degree in Conservation and Restoration at the University "Gregoriana" in Rome. I became a licensed guide of Rome and of the Vatican Museums in 2001. I have also spent some time abroad to improve my language skills. I love both modern and ancient art and archaeology so for me it is not tiring to learn new things that I can later share with travellers! I enjoy art in all its forms, e. g. theatre and ballet, which I practice during my free time. I am in love with my city and its characteristic alleys, where I wander to explore and find secret corners I can take travellers to! My favorite places are Saint Angelo's Castle, where you can feel a marvelous medieval atmosphere, and the Pantheon, the monument symbol of the Imperial Rome. I like to tour with families with kids and small groups, but don't worry, I am able to fit a larger group too, so feel free to contact me for a customized tour that can meet all your requests and desires! Please do not hesitate to contact me for any information you may need about my beloved Eternal City! Licensed Tour Guide of Rome and the Vatican since 2001. Postgraduated at the University "La Sapienza" of Rome. Master's Degree in Conservation and Restoration at the University "Gregoriana" in Rome. According to Italian laws, I'm able to guide you inside museums, archaeological areas, cities and any sites. I'm not a licensed driver. For tours including private transportation, my trusted professional driver will be at your disposal.

Claudia was a wonderful guide. We had a baby and mum-to-be with our group and she was incredibly thoughtful with both of them - finding shade, water, places to sit - in the hot Roman summer. She was knowledgeable and we enjoyed our tour thoroughly.

Claudia was magnificent. She was very knowledgeable and personable and accomadating to us. One of the best guides we have ever had, and she made Ancient Rome come alive with her stories in detail. We loved being with her and would highly recommend her as a guide.

We have traveled a lot over the past few years and hanever scheduled a tour. We were SO HAPPY that we did. The personal attention and care that Claudia gave us was exceptional. Her knowledge, wit, and ease moving through the crowd was great for our group of 4. She kept our attention with her stories and details. The 3 hours we were with her each day (Colosseum/Vatican) went by too fast. We could've spent 8 hours each day with her. She has a great ability to connect with people. Thank you Claudia!

Claudia spent two days with our family, including a teenager. One tour was of the Colosseum and Forum, the other of the Vatican. Claudia entertained and enlightened us with her interesting explanations of the people, art, history, and myths surrounding the various sites that we visited. Claudia is extremely knowledgeable about the art and history of Rome and was passionate about describing all the rules and rituals of another era. She was a delight, and we heartily recommend Claudia as your guide.
