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.

Tour of two of the best Palladian villas with an art historian
Overview of your Vicenza tour
Explore with me the interiors and exteriors of the Villa Rotonda and of the Rocca Pisana, two among the most iconic masterpieces of the Land of Venice. As a local guide and an art historian, I have been studying and guiding in these locations for years. While the Rotonda is a world-famous Palladian masterpiece, only few know this house also has a beautiful, less known twin sister, built in the same years and in the same area. Recently reopened to the public after restoration, the Rocca Pisana still has unravished original interiors and a splendid view. While visiting the rooms, I'll tell you all the amazing stories of the nobel Pisani family and their connection to the Venetian great history. Both the villas are surrounded by a beautiful scenery. A nice local wine/local food tasting at another nearby ancient estate may be added to the tour upon your request.
