Hi there! Nice to meet you

Francesca

I'm an art historian and my area of expertise is Religious Art of the Baroque Period. Rome is a stratified city: every monument tells about a specific historical time, from the Ancient Period to the XX century. The story of Europe starts from here! Exploring Roman Art is the best way to understand the story of the city and our culture deeply.

Every tour for me is an opportunity to know other cultures and personal stories, creating new connections with people from around the world.

I've lived in France and Portugal and I speak Italian, English, and French. I'm a very curious girl, enthusiastic about life and I enjoy sharing my knowledge with others!

Francesca showed us art and history around the city that we would have simply walked past without her and she explained the context and significance of the sights too. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with her!A wonderful first morning in Rome ..

Francesca brought our experience of the Trastevere neighborhood to life. She shared her mastery of the many layered history of this special “village” of Rome and opened up our understanding through a woven tapestry of historical and present-day stories, perspectives, personalities and anecdotes. She is a true scholar and a personable guide. Following her knowledgeable lead through the neighborhood was an immense pleasure. Without Francesca, we never would have discovered the most special details and corners of this magnificent part of the city.Experience the Real Trastevere

We had an amazing time in Francesca’s company in Rome. The food stops were amazing and were complimented with Francesca’s exceptional knowledge of Rome’s history and of course all its amazing landmarks. Unforgettable! Very highly recommended! Amazing good tour

Francesca taught our group of 3 the pantheon, piazza navona, altare Della patria, Trajan column, and st Ignatious church. She was super flexible adapting to our eldest member pace and explaining everything from scratch so we can really understand concepts. she gave us practical tips and a good advice as to where to eat. We had fun and learned a lot!Knowledgable and fun!

Our tour with Francesca was excellent. Having been in Rome for a few days, Francesca customised our tour to show us highlights we would of otherwise missed. Her knowledge and interest in the art and history was very obvious. Writing this from her secret (and best) coffee shop in Rome! Want to know the best coffee in Rome?

Francesca is a very communicative guide, and makes us feel confortabe from the beginning. We had a great time in Trastevere with her, and saw things we would never have noticed on our own. She has an academic background in art, which makes a lot of difference. I would recommend Francesca to a friend. A high level tour.
