I am a Venetian Venice-based cultural expert with more than 15 years of experience working in the tourism industry.

My family has lived in Venice for over a thousand years, and this deep-rooted connection shapes the way I understand and share the city. I chose to build my life here, despite the challenges of living in Venice today, and I dedicated my studies to its history.

I am also a mother, and I experience Venice every day not only as a professional, but through real daily life — walking its streets and sharing it with my children and my dogs.

This allows me to see beyond the surface and help travelers discover a more authentic Venice, avoiding clichés and experiencing its true character.

For me, every journey here is not just about visiting Venice, but about bringing a piece of it back with you — in your heart, through its history, its people, its food, and the quiet, unmistakable rhythm of your footsteps echoing through its streets, something you will never feel anywhere else.

As a local, I offer insider recommendations on neighborhoods, cultural sites, museums, and truly authentic Venetian experiences — from local markets and traditional food to hidden places that reflect the real life of the city.

I guide travelers in choosing where to go, what to prioritize, and how to structure their time, helping them avoid tourist traps and discover a more genuine Venice.

Thanks to my background in museum education, I can suggest meaningful cultural routes, especially related to Venetian history and the Jewish Ghetto.

I also support families in creating balanced itineraries, with the right rhythm, including pauses and moments tailored to children.

My goal is to transform a visit to Venice into a thoughtful, well-designed experience.
