Hey, there! I may be your expert islander! I was born and raised in Sicily, and I have been a licensed tour guide from 2018. My family background deeply connects me to the territories of Taormina, Syracuse, and Catania—areas I know not just as a guide, but as places of the soul. My academic path has been an eclectic journey through Communication, Philosophy, Human Resources, and Cognitive Sciences, with a Master's degree obtained in Barcelona, Spain. Fencing, theater, philosophy, and yoga have been the colorful threads that shaped my life's journey. My tours are like me, dynamic and interactive experiences, covering many aspects of historical, social and modern daily Sicilian life. With me, you won’t just be a customer; you will be treated like a new friend of mine who is going to move to Sicily! My mission is helping you to answer all your questions, and at the same time show you the real, the most authentic and profound, aspects of the places we will visit! Sicily is a sort of open-air history and art book, it is a puzzle with a missing piece, it is magnificent and tragic! Ruins and nature create a timeless dance, Sicily has more than one definition. On top of that, I strongly believe that beauty is not only in the big or small things, beauty is mostly in the eyes and in the ears of the travelers, and I will travel with your eyes in my homeland. Being a tour guide, to me, means inhabiting the space of beauty and trying to create moments of refreshment for the soul in an overly busy world, I hope we can make it happen!

Ortigia or Neapolis walking tour
Overview of your Syracuse tour
The intriguing archeological park or the charming Ortigia island? Choose one of the two areas of Syracuse and discover it with me! Neapolis is the original Greek name of the area, you will walk side by side with history and myths, your heart will touch the landscape where civil values were born, breath the same atmosphere of the biggest Greek theatre authors. This is a true jump in the past, into a dimension where the measure of humanity was the human soul. Ortigia, instead, captures the essence of the passage of the time and things left behind. Here, concepts and perspective have overlapped and blended and today it continues to evolve. You will listen to the same voices of Arabic markets, you will be looked at by baroque masks. In both tours, we will talk about philosophy, art, religion, myths and how all this coexists harmoniously, or not, in our modern city. Syracuse is a must-to-know in order to comprehend the Italian identity complexity, I hope we can discuss it together!
