Hello, my name is Alessandra and I was born and grew up in Rome - a true local! I graduated in 1995 with a degree in Art History and have worked in art communication ever since. In developing didactic projects I've collaborated with Universities, Museums and Government Agencies. Most importantly, I spent several years at the MACRO (Museo Arte Contemporanea Roma) followed by even more years at the Trajan Markets (Imperial forums Museum). So, as you can see my interests in art range from the far past to the immediate present. For the past seven years I've worked as a private tour guide and I love it. I believe a walk through Rome is a walk through time, from the earliest settlement on the Palatine to the still busy artisan neighborhoods, from the Christian churches to the Jewish Ghetto. I specialize in tailor-made tours for first time or repeat visitors seeking more in depth knowledge of the city. I enjoy working with families and children and have had great experiences with tourists who have mental or physical disabilities as well. ". . only in Rome do you really get to know Rome. . " J. W.

Overview of your Rome tour

Caravaggio born in Milan in 1571 was in Rome by the end of the 1580's to 1606. We stroll in the district where Caravaggio lived and worked to discover stories, the technical skill and the art of this outstanding artist. We admire some of the most beautiful masterpieces in the original churches for which they were commissioned. In Santa Maria del Popolo: Saint Paul's Conversion and the Crucifixion of Saint Peter. In Sant'Agostino, The Madonna of Pilgrims. We end up in San Luigi dei Francesi , one of the French churches in Rome, to admire the three paintings which represent the stories of Saint Mathew. These are the firs altarpieces ever painted by Caravaggio. He was a genius who changed the way of observing and representing nature and the human being, a turning point in the history of art. I love this artist and I want to reveal all his secrets to you! Let's go!
