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"!

The tour plans to discover the wonders of Siena, whose historical center is listed among the UNESCO World Heritage Sites since 1995. Wondering why to choose this tour with me? Well I think I am the suitable guide for this tour, not only because I am 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 city and its surroundings, curiosities, anecdotes, traditions and beauties of the territory. And I will be delighted to show it to you, with all the enthusiasm, passion and cheerfulness that distinguish me. Among the highlights we'll admire: the most remarkable churches (as the Duomo and the 13th c. St. Dominic Basilica), Banchi di Sopra main street and the typical narrow alleys, gorgeous squares with splendid architectures bearing the name of historical local families and still showing their magnificent noble palaces We'll find out the medieval Sienese traditions in the shell-shaped Campo Square where the centuries-old Palio race's held
