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.

Tivoli (18 miles east of Rome) has been a residential area since Roman times, thanks to its location at the slope of the Tiburtini Hills, crossed by the Aniene river. In the 2nd century A. D. Emperor Hadrian built his house away from the chaos of Rome. it was the largest residence ever built by a roman emperor. In the archeological park of Villa Adriana we can see the impressive remains of the 30 buildings: majestic architectures, mosaics, colored marbles. Nearby, the late Renaissance Villa D'Este is the expression of its patron, the cardinal Ippolito d'Este, governor of Tivoli, who was eager to be Pope. The complex consists of a wonderfully frescoed palace and an Italian style terraced garden with almost 50 monumental fountains. Tivoli was a must for the grand tour travelers of the 16 th /17 th centuries. We can enjoy the wonderful view over the ancient acropolis in a natural landscape that has been painted by artists from all over the world!
