From being young I have always had a passion for Art and the way some special people expressed themselves through it: music, archaeology, history, architecture, poetry and literature have always been my favourite subjects. All of this gives me today a deeper comprehension of the works in museums and a great joy at sharing it with people. After eighteen years as a licensed guide, showing museums, art collections and churches in Rome, I still enjoy sharing what I have learnt and I do not mind customizing tours according to clients requests. This work gives me the opportunity to meet many people from different backgrounds: I have lectured for National Geographic and Smithsonian, I tought Renaissance and Baroque Art for an american university in Rome, I lead tours for Roman groups and for tourists and I am not yet tired! All of this makes me strongly believe to have chosen the best work possible in the most beautiful city in the world: Rome!

Join me on a visit to the heart of the ancient city, among temples, meeting places and triumphal arches. Our walk will evoke images of Senators, soldiers, matrons and orators, accompanying us from the Forum to one of the most exceptional buildings in the Eternal City, the Colosseum. Here a rich history unfolds, filled with gladiators, slaves and ferocious animals, and also cruelty, discipline and clemency. We will visit the the Arena, where stories and legends mix in the mysteries of this fascinating place, stories that I can't wait to tell you! Moving on we will visit the area that witnessed the birth and development of the Roman civilization: the forum. Political, social, religious and economic heart of the Roman Republic, some of the most ancient places of worship can be found in the forum and visitors can still glimpse the remains of venerable temples. To then end our visit on the Palatine Hill from where you can also admire a beautiful panoramic view.
Rosanna did a great job of guiding us through the Colosseum and surrounding area. It was a very hot day and she kept us in shade as much as she could while we walked through the sites. She has great knowledge of the area and all of Rome and was able to share this with us. We would highly recommend her for this and any other tour in Rome.
We have been on numerous tours and Rosanna is one of the best we have ever had. She is a fantastic historian, has a great personality, and was everything we wished for in a guide. We wish we could have taken her on our entire vacation!
We did two tours with Rosanna--she was wonderful. Very knowledgable and accommodating. She arranged the tickets so we could get right into the colosseum. We very much enjoyed our time with Rosanna--we learned so much!
Rosanna was wonderful. She was extremely knowledgeable about the history of the sites we visited. She could explain what we were seeing, how it was used and what it looked like in the ancient world. We had a son in a wheelchair with us and she knew how to get him around to see everything. She was incredible.
We booked two tours at a total cost of $2,344.07 that included car/driver and guide for one day which included picking us up from the Port. Though itinerary on the receipt included many places, they were not fully covered. I did not have a chance to go through with Rosanna after we had covered 7 major sites, such as Vatican Museums, Tapestry Museum, St. Peter Basilica/square, Sistine Chapel, The Pantheon, Colosseum and the Trevi Fountain. Rosanna is very professional and knowledgeable.
Rosanna was simply an AMAZING tour guide for our full day shore excursion in Rome (husband, myself and our 13 year old son). We customized this tour to see the specific things we wanted to see with our limited time in Rome. She was knowledgeable about ALL of the things - from the Capitoline museum, to the Roman Forum or the Colosseum - she knew it ALL! Seeing the Colosseum with her is a MUST. We recommend her highly as a guide and will use her on our future visits!
