I am an archaeologist and licensed guide in Rome, a storyteller of the Eternal City. I have worked on numerous Capitoline archaeological sites, where history rises from the ground and speaks through stone. Today, I design and lead authentic cultural experiences, rooted in respect, care, and a deep commitment to protecting the territory, in collaboration with local associations and community projects. Nature, beauty, and bien vivre are at the heart of my work and my life. I have an open, vibrant character and a natural gift for connection: I love meeting people, sharing ideas, and creating bridges between cultures, transforming each visit into a meaningful and memorable experience. I am deeply interested in multimedia in all its forms, especially as a tool for understanding and enhancing our shared cultural heritage. I also coordinate associations and initiatives focused on good governance within Rome’s urban gardens—places where history, sustainability, and community come together. “I am my work ” I am the daughter of an antique dealer, and since childhood I have breathed in the scent of time itself—wood, dust, and beauty shaped by centuries. This early immersion in the world of antiquity has shaped my eye and my sensitivity, and it is this unique perspective that I invite you to experience with me. Rome is the only city in the world that is truly an open-air museum. But beyond its streets and ruins lie extraordinary treasures preserved in its great museums and art galleries. I will guide you through them with insight, passion, and care—offering not just a tour, but a journey through time. So…enjoy in Rome! Licensed tour guide of Rome. Graduated in the most accredited University of Rome "La Sapienza" in Archeology I can organize a customized tours (full day or half day) with luxury private car and driver. Even if my calendar shows no availability, feel free to get in touch. I can organize private transportation by private car and driver. Just to clarify, I only arrange hotel or port pick-up and drop-off through the driver. I will meet you at the meeting point. For easy communication on the day of the tour, I suggest downloading WhatsApp on your smartphone.

Overview of your Rome tour
One of the most unique experience you can do in Rome is to visit the ancient Christian catacombs. These early Christians cemeteries were tunnels dug underground, exploiting the old quarries of volcanic rock. Stretching out for miles like a labyrinth, they were all located outside the city walls, in order to respect roman laws. Catacombs were abandoned in the middle ages, when the population of the city decreased to a few thousands of people, and their location was rediscovered only in the XIX cent. Join me on this to to explore the catacombs with a member of the internal staff because it's very easy to get lost. Mostly of the catacombs were aligned along Rome's most famous road, the Appian way: today its cobble-stoned paving is one of the icons of Rome. Later, we'll have the opportunity to have a walk in this lovely and peaceful park, stepping on the ancient past. Our tour will take us then to admire one of the greatest roman achievements, the Aqueducts. Don't miss this special tour with me!
