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

Vicenza is located in the Venice mainland and is a must-see for Italian Art lovers. Indeed, the city hosts the most famous works by the Renaissance architect Andrea Palladio, such as the Basilica Palladiana and the Teatro Olimpico. The first time one enters this masterpiece cannot be forgotten, as the theatre's perfection is simply breathtaking. See it with me to unlock secrets that books and podcasts simply don't tell. My tour also includes many other hidden gems not to be missed by visitors, such as the works by Giovanni Bellini and Paolo Veronese, the traces of Venice's domination in Vicenza's ancient city centre, and the rich and relaxing lifestyle of one of the most beautiful and sophisticated Italian art towns.

Your Vicenza tour itinerary

-Half-day tour: walking tour in the city centre through the Palladian masterpieces such as Teatro Olimpico, the Piazza dei Signori, the palaces of Contra' Porti and the Medieval church of Santa Corona that hosts the altarpieces by Giovanni Bellini and Paolo Veronese. On weekends this city tour may be also combined with my tour to the Palladian Villas, to create a full-day Palladian experience. The tour can be customized on demand.
