Buongiorno! Nice to meet you! I am Abigail, a proud Italian with an English mother and Italian father. I am an Art History expert and I would love to share with you my passion for the two Italian cities I love the most, Venice and Rome! I have studied the history of art and painting in Venice during high school and then graduated with honours in Management of Cultural Tourism. I have always loved art together with travelling and discovering all aspects of culture. During my university career I experienced one year abroad with a scholarship in Spain and also took part in a prestigious internship with the Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice, one of my favourite museums in town. Just after graduation I studied for my tour leader and tour guide licenses and then attended several art history courses in Rome and the UK. Since then I have been sharing the beauty of Venice and Rome with visitors from all over the world. I love meeting people and I hope I will manage to make your day memorable! :) Official Tour Guide License; Official Tour Leader License; Degree with Honours in Management of Cultural Tourism; Venice Peggy Guggenheim Collection Guide; Vatican Museums Authorised Tour Guide; Venice Port Authority License.

The Peggy Guggenheim Collection is one of my favourite museums in Venice, a truly magical place with incredible history. During my university career I was selected for a prestigious internship together with other students from all over the world, that gave me the possibility to study its works of art from a very special point of view together with the history of the gallery and many anecdotes on Peggy Guggenheim's life. The collection is among the most important museums in Italy for European and American art of the first half of the 20th century. It is located in Peggy's former home, Palazzo Venier dei Leoni on the Grand Canal. The museum presents Peggy Guggenheim's personal collection with masterpieces by the most important avant-garde European artists such as Picasso, Braque, Ernst, Miro' and Magritte together with American abstract expressionist Jackson Pollock.
