I graduated in 1995 with a degree in Art History and have worked in art communication ever since. In developing didactic projects I've collaborated with Universities, Museums and Government Agencies. Most importantly, I spent several years at the MACRO (Museo Arte Contemporanea Roma) followed by even more years at the Trajan Markets (Imperial forums Museum). So, as you can see my interests in art range from the far past to the immediate present.
For the past seven years I've worked as a private tour guide and I love it. I believe a walk through Rome is a walk through time, from the earliest settlement on the Palatine to the still busy artisan neighborhoods, from the Christian churches to the Jewish Ghetto.
I specialize in tailor-made tours for first time or repeat visitors seeking more in depth knowledge of the city. I enjoy working with families and children and have had great experiences with tourists who have mental or physical disabilities as well.

Strolling through this ever surprising city aided by maps, drawings, photos and writings of each historical period, we'll penetrate and truly experience Rome!
A Recent Review of this guide
Read ReviewsAlessandra was wonderful with our family of two parents and 3 children ages 16-7 years sharing expertise of the Vatican in many different ways and very thoroughly which is what we wanted and needed in order to get the most out of our visit to this incredibly important and concentrated area. We appreciated Alessandra's patience and assistance with navigating the crowds and expertly showing us many important details we would have missed on our own or unable to have be clarified if done with a large group.
