The guide
LUCCA'S TOURS
Lucca’s thousand-year history makes it a city with a unique charm. Unique are the Renaissance walls that enclose the historic center with 100 churches. Enchanting medieval towers and narrow streets, fascinating Renaissance palaces and welcoming squares full of history, art and architecture. An extraordinary discovery that is second to none!
FREIBURG'S TOURS
Freiburg is a city full of history, art and curiosities that are worth discovering: the canals (Bachle) with water flowing through the old town, the mosaics on the sidewalk made with stones from the river Rhine and the Munster with the most beautiful Gothic tower in Christianity surrounded by charming buildings and the picturesque market. A truly fascinating discovery!

YOUR GUIDE
I graduated in foreign languages and postgraduated in Art History at the University of Pisa and in Germany.
Since 1991 I ‘m a tour guide in the town of Lucca and its province as well as Freiburg and the Black Forest.
They are the two cities where I live: the city of the heart and the city of love that’s why I am happy to introduce these splendid places to visitors.
I’m curious and interested in showing to my tourists the places where I live.
I like to explore monuments and sites, the artistic beauty and the historic charm of a city tour and I’m happy to discover the daily life and the picturesque places of our visit.
I like to take a nice walk with my tourists offering a beautiful souvenir of what we see and hear.
I customize the tour to visitors’ interest in content, level and age.
I have two children who taught me to see things that surround me with different eyes: they made me discover new ways to explore the town.
Thanks to my children I wrote new alternative and amusing tours suitable to curious travelers.
I’m author of two tourist books edited by MP Fazzi: “Lucca una piccola grande città raccontata ai bambini” illustrated by Pierluigi Puccini.
“ Lucca, an itinerary to discover wild and domestic animals, real and fantastic creatures”
