Alessandro

We had a fantastic afternoon with Alessandro and the cinquecento! It was informative, entertaining, quirky and tailored around us. Alessandro’s knowledge shone through and his style was informal and informative. We managed to squeeze in to the 1969 cinquecento even though we’re 1.8m and 1.9m tall!! Highly recommend!!

What a great adventure!

Eleonora is wonderful! I had asked her to focus on my 14-year-old granddaughter and Eleonora walked her through the Rome big city shopping experience, which is very different from shopping in our home city. She chose age appropriate stores, guided her through cloth selection and talked to her about style and quality. She even helped me with a little shopping! A very fun experience.

We learned a lot about fashion

Eleonora was very knowledgeable about many aspects of fashion. She tailored our time with her to meet our interests. We visited many different types of stores and were able to talk with some of the employees of these stores too.
