I have been a professional photographer for 30 years. I speak Italian and English. I offer both a photoshoot and a unique experience in the city. You will have the chance to visit the most beautiful parts of Venice while I take pictures and share some enchanting Venetian stories. We will see romantic canals where gondolas proceed silently and lightly and the water becomes a mirror. We will cross ancient bridges and hidden and mysterious places, rich in history and stories.

Castel Sant'Angelo layers nearly 2,000 years of use into one structure—built as Hadrian's tomb, converted to a papal fortress, used as a prison and execution site, and connected to the Vatican by an escape corridor. Walking it without context means moving through rooms whose changing functions aren't obvious. Instead of exploring alone, an art historian guides you through the imperial and papal history for an in-depth visit.

Matera reveals itself in Palazzo Acito, a 17th century building open to curious and enterprising travellers. In its rooms you will live a unique experience: the city of the Sassi is all there, in 'La Secretissima camera de lo core', a whale's belly to cross, a labyrinth that will tell you about an unprecedented Matera. Accompanied by two exceptional guides, Luciana and Massimo, actors from the Teatro dei Sassi, you will have a sensorial and engaging journey to the places of citizens' hearts: moving 40 works by national and international artists, listening to ancient stories, legends whispered between talking objects and emotional maps up to Il Giuoco dei Sissi: a dice, 7 cuckoos as placeholders and Wonder cards and of Restlessness, keys to access the language, the mysteries, the sayings, the places of the city. But it doesn't end here because the game continues outside, in the historic center of Matera, in search of those secrets revealed by the cards. And if your answers are correct you will receive a welcome surprise.
