Hi there! Nice to meet you

Carmen

Get to know a side of Rome you will not read about in the tourist guides: the rich legacy of the women of Rome.

The story of Rome is usually told through the lens of men: the emperors, the popes, the architects, the artists. But what about all the women who shaped Rome's history? My passion is to shine a light on these untold stories and to celebrate the women of Rome.

About me:

What I love most about hosting an experience for people is the connection. I moved to Rome (for love!) six years ago. Since then, along my work as a human rights campaigner, I've been taking people from all over the world on tours in Rome - in the city centre and outside the city walls along the Appian Way, where nature and ancient history meet.

Storytelling runs in my blood. Rome inspires a constant awe and wonder: I love how every corner you turn holds a surprise and how the light changes throughout the day and the seasons.

If you decide to explore Rome with me, I will introduce you to the beauty and rich history of the Eternal City, through the eyes of women: from the powerful women of Ancient Rome, over the "female pope", Baroque painters and the women of contemporary Rome.
