PROFESSIONAL

· I graduated in 1991 from the finest school for tourism in Rome and, in the same year, I began working at conventions and accompanying groups throughout Italy and abroad. As a tour guide accompanying groups abroad, I was able to learn the habits and the cultures of various countries and, therefore, I can easily understand the diverse needs of clients-- foreigners and Italians-- visiting Rome. Immediately I understood that Rome would be my main objective, and that it would remain at the core of my interests. For this reason I decided to concentrate my studies exclusively to the art and archaeology of Rome and the Vatican City.

· In 1996, after years of studying, I began working exclusively as a local guide, sometimes for tour groups but mainly for individual tourists. Often my clients are families with children or the not-so-youthful traveller that prefers a guide that is well-prepared, sociable, and able to lead the way on foot through the City, creating a friendly and relaxed atmosphere.

SOMETHING MORE ABOUT ME

· I have two adorable children and, despite the rewards of being a mom, working as a guide is a fundamental part of my life: the emotions I feel when immersing myself in the Forum or the Sistine Chapel are countless!

· I like to cook, and I love discussing my special recipes with clients, revealing new secrets of our own and learning new dishes from all over the world.

· I adore jogging and going to the gym, but not just fitness training: when I have some time I try various other sports, like taekwondo, athletics and gymnastics.
