Guide
Italian, English

I was born and brought up in Parma, where I graduated in Medieval and Modern Art History with highest marks. Working as a guide in temporary exhibitions I discovered my passion for communication and education, which I could express cooperating with the Superintendence for the Historical Artistic Heritage of Parma and Piacenza on projects of museum education and initiatives aimed at enhancing the cultural heritage of the city. I had the opportunity to work with organizations and institutions of the territory such as the Superintendence of Modena and Reggio Emilia, the Magnani Rocca Foundation, the City and the Province of Parma at art didactics, projecting theme tours and trails within specific initiatives and providing guided tours.
I became a fully licensed tour guide in 2009 and my main occupations in the last years have been didactics, planning historical educational tours and art workshops for Schools, and accompanying individuals and groups to the discovery of some citi es of the region such as Parma, Piacenza, Reggio Emilia, Modena and Bologna, proposing theme routes, itineraries dedicated to the musical aspects and the culinary tradition of the Region, by visiting Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, Parma Ham and Culatello factories, wineries and traditional Balsamic Vinegar lofts, hoping to make them perceive the beauty and richness of this land!
I love to share my knowledge and enthusiasm for these amazing cities with their 2000 years of history and important traditions. I can tell you about my favourite restaurants, exhibitions and theatre productions and what life is really like living and working in one of the most beautiful towns of the Emilia Romagna region. Having travelled to many countries, as well as exploring Italy, I appreciate how valuable a tourist's time is and what makes a trip memorable. From students to VIPs, individuals to groups, contact me to arrange your memorable visit. I look forward to welcoming you to my wonderful land!
