Born near Lake Como, I lived abroad with my family until the age of 10 before coming back to Italy. In the meantime, I had discovered other cultures and lifestyles, leading me to study foreign languages at high school. Later, I obtained my Masters degree in History of Art at the University of Parma and won an academic prize to spend a year in Lisbon where I learned Portuguese. I moved then to Milan where I worked as an art curator for several collectors, art galleries and foundations. But I was eager for more challenges and I wanted to combine my job experience with my love for my city, far from corporate obligations. I came back to study and obtained my guiding license. Since then, I have been organising guided tours in Italian, English, Portuguese and French, showing the hidden gems of Milan and Como and giving a true local experience to my guests while adapting to their needs and wishes. I love meeting people from other parts of the world and leading them to the little churches, museums, shops, old streets and the architectural heritage of Milan. There is so much that deserves to be seen in this beautiful city!
