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"!

Traveling is also knowing the different flavors of an area: with this enogastronomic tour you'll discover the original and genuine Siena food with the unmissable accompaniment of Tuscan wines.
