I'm a Licensed Roman Guide with a background in Architecture, but, first of all, I'm a traveller like you! I'm able to put myself in your shoes and suggest the best photo spots, since I'm a Travel Photographer as well! With me, you'd be able to discover highlights and hidden gems of Rome; I offer both tours in the city centre and outside of the city walls. My visits are more architecture-oriented, but I like to give a comprehensive overview, from historical insights to food tips. I love admiring narrow lanes while I'm having a gelato! I was born and raised in the Eternal City and, after experiencing life in the UK and in Germany, I'm back to my roots again. After getting a Master's Degree in Architecture, I've realized that the everyday life of an Architect didn't fit neither my expectations nor the artistic and exciting topics I studied at my University. Therefore, step by step, I've moved to the travel field, where I truly belong. In 2014 I inaugurated my Sustainable-Travel and Photography website where I share my reportages with a taste for the unusual, from Rome to the Polar Regions (Arctic and Antarctica)! I love going beyond the surface and capturing the soul of places. This project gave me such good vibes, that I understood that it was time for a change. A couple of years later, I've gained my Tour Guide's license and now I'm here to help you create wonderful memories. Can't wait to share Rome with you! - I hold a Master's Degree in Architecture from "La Sapienza University of Rome", but I have also studied in Germany (Bauhaus Weimar and TU Darmstadt). - I am a licensed guide and I have got both the Vatican and the Colosseum pass. - I have collaborated with Nikon, Lonely Planet and Financial Times! - I have published a travel book in Italian about Antarctica, called Antarktikós I don't offer pick-up by car, but I can arrange an official driver for you, if necessary.

A fascinating walk among painted palaces from the Renaissance, seeking hidden lanes in the heart of Rome. I have created this unique tour after a photo assignment: a US university professor hired me to take pictures of Renaissance painted façades for her book and I have discovered incredible details, invisible to the naked eye. Most of these palaces are in Piazza Navona’s surroundings and they are located in charming lanes and hidden squares ignored even by locals. Renaissance painted palaces will be our common thread to discover the secret Rome.
Starting Point: Caffè Sant'Eustachio HIGHLIGHTS: ✔ Licensed Guide with an architectural background ✔ Hidden corners that even romans ignore ✔ Painted façades from Renaissance ✔ Great food opportunities on the way Please, note: daylight is needed to admire frescoes!
