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.

Overview of your Vicenza tour

The Venetian countryside treasures some among the most amazing Palladian architectures, such as the Villa Malcontenta and Villa Barbaro. During the tour, we also visit the world-renown Villa Rotonda in the surroundings of Vicenza, the city where Andrea Palladio used to live and work. Locals do say: "Venice is beautiful, and Vicenza is their little sister". Indeed Vicenza's city centre is an original Renaissance setting and its beauty is one of the Italian best kept secrets. Exploring all these breathtaking beauties with me, an Art Historian, can make your journey different. Build your nicest travelling memories while being not far from Venice.
