Be ready to be captivated and follow me! About Me. I was born in Spain from a Spanish mother and an Italian father whose family originated in the Veneto region, my grandpa's sister migrated to the US in the early 20th century where her descendants reached now the 5th generation. I lived in London, Madrid and Rome with my parents but I also travelled a lot with them and my sister because of my dad's job for an airline and to visit my mum's side of the family I also spent many summers in the Spanish region of Galicia. I worked in the tourist business for most of my life, I begun travelling extensively both in Italy and abroad as a tour manager for American and Italian travel companies until 2001 when I settled in Venice and passed my exam to become a certified guide. Love brought me, as it has for so many others, to the most romantic city, my Venetian wife and I both live in a 13th century building located in the very heart of town.
