Born and raised in Milan, I used to work in the transportation industry for few years before deciding to live out of my real passion: tourism. I became a professional tour guide licensed in English and German, then later, French and Spanish as well. Meeting people and speak their language is one of my favorite things. Within my job I try to offer a good experience to everybody, that's why I attended another course to be able to guide also for disabled people. And because I really enjoy studying and always learning new things, I recently took a course in art restoration. Today I am a National Tourist Guide and a tour leader in Milan, Bergamo, Monza Brianza and Lake Como. I am proud of my region and I love showing its best to my guests so they can enjoy an unforgettable experience. Member of several tourism associations and organisations in Milan, I am an active ambassador of the city and its culture, especially in the classical music and fashion industry.
