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. Ghoethe Italian Journey, 1786-1788. Strolling through this ever surprising city aided by maps, drawings, photos and writings of each historical period, we'll penetrate and truly experience Rome!

The Sistine Chapel and the Vatican Museums in the evening
Overview of your Rome tour
What could be more suggestive than a visit to the Vatican Museums, a treasure trove of incomparable masterpieces inserted in an incomparable architecture seen at sunset and in the evening? In the Pope's Museums there are 18 different sectors and almost 70, 000 works. I take you around for an overview, making sure you don't miss the must see masterpieces. I was born and grew up in Rome and live near the Vatican, who better than me can make you discover this wonderful place?! Walking along the astonishing Upper Galleries (classical art collection; 16th century tapestries and ancient maps of the regions of Italy on the wall) we reach the private apartment of Pope Giulius II. We pass through Pope Alessandro Borgia's apartment, frescoed in the 15th century, which houses a rich collection of contemporary art. We reach The Sistine Chapel, where the Pope are elected. Inside are the unique and controversial vault (1508-1512) painted by Michelangelo and his masterpiece: the Last Judgment (1535-1541)
