I belong to a Venetian family of documented ancient origins. After obtaining my Tourism High School diploma, I lived for two years in the United States where I collaborated with the US Department of the Interior in San Francisco, at the Golden Gate Recreation Area, for the translation into Italian of the documentation on Alcatraz Island. I then worked for a year as a cultural representative at EPCOT Center - Walt Disney World Co. in Orlando, Florida. Once back in Venice, I graduated with honors in History from Venice University Ca' Foscari, concentrating my studies on Venetian and Byzantine Art and History. In 2000 I became a Qualified Tourist Guide of Venice and the Venetian Villas. I love traveling and local cuisine, the sea, nature, animals, and 60s and 70s pop and rock. Over the years I dedicated myself to the promotion of initiatives aimed at the dissemination of Venetian culture and held lectures on Venice's History and Art for the UNESCO Campaign on safeguarding Venice, contributing to the restoration of two 15th and 19th-century paintings preserved in the local church of Santa Maria Formosa. I recently obtained a master's degree with honors in Economics and Management of Arts and Cultural Activities, studying in depth subjects related to the international law and the protection of cultural heritage, UNESCO and to sustainable tourism.

Overview of your Venice tour

This tour can be planned in many different ways, in order to discover at your own choice one of the six Venetian districts. We will explore Venice with particular attention to the most unusual aspects and the most appealing curiosities. Discover how Venice was built on water. And what are exactly the wells? Visit the great monuments like St John and Paul church and the famous statue of Colleoni. You will be offered many different perspectives to appreciate Venice, focusing on the way locals lived in the past and how, instead, life is today. You will learn why is Venice so different from any other city in the world, and how the city environment conditioned all the aspects of its evolution. The boat tour will then make you see the city and its natural environment from a different perspective, and you will see that Venice is not just the city, but also the Lagoon. It will make you feel how important the water element was and is, and how much this determined to create a Venetian lifestyle.

Cinzia is an outstanding guide! Her in-depth knowledge of everything Venetian and her love for Venice pours out as you spend time with her! We thoroughly enjoyed our time on both tours. We booked Cinzia on back-to-back days.

Cinzia structured our tour very wisely, one hour of walking and intense information discovery, and one hour of leisurely riding through small and large canals on a private boat ( boat was very comfortable and was waiting for us). This was accompanied by detailed description, with some storytelling, of old and newer palaces, churches, ritual places and residential buildings. Great tour and great tour guide. Highly recommend.

Loved Cinzia. She gave us an amazing tour of the small canals and sites off the beaten path. The boat ride around through the smaller canals on her husband boat was a very personal touch!!
