I still remember the first time I saw ancient statues, I was in the Vatican Museum and I was a child. Those marble giants were not just silent witness of their time but it seemed like I could hear their voices talking to me from the past. Was it that a decisive moment in my life? Probably it was! I graduated in Art History at Rome University and while waiting to find a "real" job I started to work as a guide and, little by little, it became my job! I've been a tourist guide since then which means …. a bit! I enjoy what I do and statues haven't stop whispering their stories to me, that, together with studies and experience, enables me to explain to you things about Rome and its history in a way you could not imagine. If we'll meet in Roma I'm ready to show you my Roma and share my knowledge with you! From the Vatican, to the Colosseum, passing through the Borghese Gallery, Caravaggio, Trastevere, Jewish Ghetto and amazing Italian food and wine, I am at your service and I love answering my guests questions and I can customize my tours for your needs. You're in good hands with me, and I look forward to meeting you! Are you ready to follow me? Ciao a tutti! Hi everybody!

Colosseum, Roman Forum and Palatine Hill: Half Day private tour
Overview of your Rome tour
The privilege to have both gladiators' perspective and Emperors' view, in the same day. The Arena stage is essentially the "backstage" of the Colosseum, and it's there you'll learn how preparations were made for the life and death "games" that played out in the Arena. Yes, exactly where the gladiators would face their destiny and their fierce opponents in no-holds-barred duels and terrifying battles that would drive the Romans insane. We will carry on by visiting the extended Roman Forum focal point of Romans everyday life. Here is where they met to take carry out their businesses and to participate in public life. Last but not least, to have an overall view we have to reach the Palatine hill, Roman emperors' residence from where they would decide the fate of the Empire. I love the art and statues haven't stop whispering their stories to me, that, together with studies and experience, enables me to explain to you things about Rome in a way you could not imagine. Are you ready to follow me into the Arena?
