I consider myself extremely lucky because in my job I can share my passion with other people. It will be a pleasure for me and my partners to share this love with you!
A few words about me
I grew up in Riva del Garda, but Florence has been my home since 1984, when I moved here to study Political Science, specializing in history. I hold a master’s degree in marketing and have been a licensed Florence tour guide since 1998.
I am married to Giovanpaolo, a true-born Florentine, who has helped me fully embrace the city and its unique spirit. Together, we have three wonderful children: Alarigo, Lamberto, and Matilde.
My Professional Journey
After completing my master’s, I worked for a while as a product manager in a large German multinational.
But Florence called me back. Returning to this enchanting city, my husband and I opened a small boutique hotel, which we successfully ran together for 15 years.
At 40, I decided to follow my true passion—Florence.
Being a tour guide is not just a job; it is a privilege. It allows me to share my deep love for this city with others. Seeing Florence through the eyes of love transforms every visit into an unforgettable journey, filled with emotions and lasting memories.
