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
Ostia was born a fortification and as an ancient Castrum (military contingent) in defense of the mouth of Rome's river, the Tiber. As Rome grew, it became a very rich place for its commercial function which supplied Rome with marbles, animals from Africa and food. From fortress the appearance changed and soon Ostia became a city of 150 acres where people of all origins swarmed and worked. Walking through Ostia we will see the Roman Theater, the Baths, the public fountains, a public latrine, the barracks of the Fire Brigade, temples of different religions, the Forum (the center of political life), Piazza delle Corporazioni, the shops (butcher, bakery and oil mill, wine shop, fish market, laundry) the residence (House of Cupid and Psyche, House of the Charioteer). I will guide you to an ancient city full of amazing mosaics, frescoes and architectures, you will see a little fabulous ancient Rome! Come with me!
