I'm from Siena, born here and I still live in the city; I'm a licensed local guide since 2014, I'm an art historian and I currently work as a guide and sometimes as an educational activities organizer for individuals and schools. So I really love bringing foreigner people to visit my city and discover its ancient traditions and wonders: the highlights as well as the hidden parts. I'm a member of Contrada del Nicchio (the Sea Shell District, one of the 17 neighborhoods of Siena) and also a member of the group of the contrada taking care about the Museum and the Oratory of the Nicchio Contrada. So I love to do Palio tours also for Italian and foreign tourists: tours focused on the Palio horse race, its history and its curiosities. I've been working in museums in Siena and its surroundings since 2006, thus I love museums and do guided tours there. For 2 years I've been responsible of the Museum of Sacred Art of Valdarbia in Buonconvento, a burg set along the Francigena's path. So I love also the Sienese countryside and its hamlets. For these tours I can accompany and take customers with public transport or with their vehicle or rental cars. I also adore to do food tours inasmuch as I like foreigners to taste our local cuisine and typical dishes, no less than our excellent wine and "vinsanto"!

A walking tour of Siena focused on the highlights of the old town
Overview of your Siena tour
The tour previews to discover in half a day some of the wonders of Siena, whose historical center is listed among the UNESCO World Heritage Sites since 1995. Starting from one of its most remarkable churches: St. Dominic Basilica, the frescoed chapel of St. Catherine and her sugestive Shrine. Then we'll find out the medieval Sienese traditions, like the Palio held in the shell-shaped Piazza del Campo: a century-old horse race, preceded by a historical parade in period costumes. Here is the gothic Town Hall, headquarters of the Siena State since the end of the 1200s. At its left is the 100-metres-high civic tower: Torre del Mangia, we'll discover the curious legend hidden behind its name, as well as the 'Campo' unusual one. We'll walk the main street and stop in the squares still bearing the name of historical local families and preserving their magnificent noble palaces. Ending with the Cathedral complex: an architectural treasure holding artworks of all eras, from the Middle Ages to Renaissance and Baroque
