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. (National Official Guides' Register # 05000333) Qualified tour leader (global) since 2010. As a qualified tourist guide, I am allowed to guide to any landmark and interior.

Overview of your Vicenza tour

Accompanied by a Renaissance art expert and official guide, enjoy a pleasant walk into Vicenza's Palladian palaces and ancient interiors. They are treasure chests of unparalleled collections, including works by Tintoretto, Giambattista Tiepolo, Canaletto, Francesco Guardi and others. The palaces themselves are masterpieces, as they date back from Palladio's age to Baroque and their rooms are often awesomely decorated. Some among them also have been recently reopened after restoration and offer a very special visiting experience. This tour can be combined with the city walking tour of Vicenza, for a full-day cultural experience in the Venice mainland. This also makes you enjoy great art while being protected from rain and raw/hot weather.
