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

The collection was created in the 16th century by cardinal Scipione Borghese, Pope Paul V's nephew, in his private luxury villa. Cardinal Scipione was a fan of his contemporary artists, such as Caravaggio and Bernini, but he was interested also in ancient greek and roman statues. His collection was one of the largest of his period and admired by artists and aristocratic guests that visited the villa. As in the old days, we have today the privilege to visit this marvellous residence and admire the beautiful masterpieces of Italian most famous artist: just to mention the most important, we have sculptures made by Bernini, six paintings by Caravaggio, two paintings by Raphael and two by Titian, as well as many other works that are no less valuable. Among the neoclassical masterpieces we have to mention also the beautiful portrait of Paulin Borghese, sister of Napoleon Bonaparte and wife of Camillo Borghese, made by Antonio Canova. So much beauty in the same place!

I have been to the Borghese Gallery several times in the past. This tour was by far the best I have ever had. Stefania was very knowledgeable about the history, the sculptures, and the art. It was an excellent tour that I highly recommend!
