Hi there! I'm Barbara, born and raised in Rome, just a few feet from the Vatican City, I love to travel the world and explore different cultures! With a degree in Architecture and a master degree in Historical Building Restoration, I have been studying architecture and art history for all my life, working for several years to the restoration of some of the most prestigious palaces in Rome. I decided to become a Tour Guide to share my lifetime experience in Rome with people from all over the world. I'm really proud to unravel the amazing stories hidden behind every alley and square of the Eternal city, bring back to life the outstanding Roman ruins, show the masterpieces made by the most important artists working for the powerful Popes and communicate my passion and true love for my Hometown, like only locals can do! All of my tours are private and can be tailored according to you interests and wishes, so just give me the details and I will create the perfect tour just for you! I hope to welcome you soon to Rome. . . A presto!

Overview of your Rome tour

Visit with a real expert of Baroque Art the Borghese Gallery, one of the most surprising museums of Rome with only 200 visitors admitted every hour! Be one of the lucky guests allowed to see the outstanding collection of Scipione Borghese, powerful nephew of Pope Paul V and incredibly avid collector, who lived in the XVII century, the eccentric Roman Baroque age. More than 20 frescoed rooms, where you can admire Bernini's Masterpieces specifically created for his mentor: the powerful cardinal Scipione Borghese. Be amazed by the tragically realistic Caravaggio's revolutionary paintings, exhibited among hundreds old roman statues, explore the early paintings of a genius of the Italian Renaissance, Raphael, close to his master's Perugino and imagine how life was when the Casino was built, with no other purpose than to entertain sophisticated guests! Do you want to be one of them?
