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"!

Overview of your Siena tour
Wondering why to choose this tour with me? Well I think I am the suitable guide for this tour, not only because I'm an Art Historian and a passionate Tour Guide, but as in much as I was born and grew up in Siena. So I know every corner of the territory, every hamlet and highlights: traditions, curiosities, anecdotes and beauties. And I will be delighted to show it to you, with all the enthusiasm, passion and cheerfulness that distinguish me. It's a route of great charme through the Orcia Valley, one the most suggestive tuscan landscapes, named since 2004 a World Heritage Site by Unesco. After the 'lunar' Crete soil, the clay fields give way to the green hills, crossed by the Orcia river; here Montalcino rises imposingly on top of the hills. After a tour on the medieval walls and along the alleys of the Old town, you can taste local olive oil and wine. Other highlights: Sant'Antimo Abbey legendarily founded by Charlemagne, San Quirico Renaissance burg of parish churches and of a 16th century Italian garden
