I have been a licensed guide of Rome and its province since 2001 and for over 20 years I have been involved in illustrating the treasures of Rome with dedication and passion for cultural diffusion. In addition to a first degree in Political Science, I have a Bachelor's degree in Art History and a Master degree in Classical Archaeology. I love telling the history and art of Rome always trying to stimulate the attention and curiosity of the participants in my tours.
