I was born in Vicenza, a beautiful town in the magnificent Land of Venice, where I have been an official guide for more than 20 years. I love sharing my passion for the region where I live: in particular, as an Art Historian I enjoy manufacturing customized cultural tours among the Palladian villas and in the amazing city of Vicenza. Select one of the tours listed below or contact me, so we can design a taylor-made one just for you. For me, it is not just a guide's knowledge that makes a tour successful, but also their personality and sensitivity to your needs and wants. Let yourself be guided with a smile. Degree in Cultural Heritage Preservation at the University of Venice "Ca' Foscari" PhD in Art History at the University of Venice "Ca' Foscari" Erasmus Project, researcher for the National Centre for Researches in Lyon (France) Qualified tourist guide since 2000.

Italian hill towns walking tour
Overview of your Vicenza tour
The walled towns of Bassano and Marostica perfectly represent the peaceful sceneries one can only find in Italy. My tour flows among immortal love stories, Great War and grappa tastings. Marostica's famous Chess Square reminds us of a love story: a noble knight won his wife's love thanks to his skill in a famous chess match, that was publicly played in the main square (still set as a gigantic chessboard just outside its magnificent Medieval castle). After a 10 minutes taxi drive, we arrive in Bassano, where one can taste the original liquor grappa at a local historical grapperia and stroll on the Palladian wooden bridge. The city is also a remembrance landmark: during World War I Bassano was in the front area, where thousands of soldiers lost their lives. Ernest Hemingway spent many days in Bassano and eventually settled there the incipit of "A Farewell to Arms". The ancient estate where the "Harvard's Poets" were hosted during the war can be added on demand.
