Hello, my name is Chiara (Clare) and I am immensely in love with my city and art, in all its forms.

Hospitality and welcome are fundamental values for me, I have always been fascinated by travel and the knowledge of people belonging to cultures and languages other than mine.

Since I was a girl I have travelled a lot and visited many countries, thus coming into contact with sociocultural realities far removed from the one in which I grew up.Thus came the awareness in me that diversity is a great wealth, indispensable to the survival of the only existing race: the human one.

From 2001 to 2005 I lived for long periods in South Africa, in Cape Town, in 2003 I attended UCT (University of Cape Town) to write my thesis entitled “Aspects and Geographical Problems of Tourism Development in South Africa”.

In 2005, I graduated from the University of Florence in Foreign Languages and Literature with the highest grades.

The following year I started working as a Tour Leader for a famous international Tour Operator, where I “made my bones” and learned a little at a time to become a tourism professional, especially I realized that I really liked that job and that I liked people!

In 2010 a new experience began with new stimuli; now I work closer to home, but always “around like a spinning top”.I started to make the first wine tours and I discovered a fascinating world partly unknown to me: that of wine.

It was love at first sight! Over the next nine years I visited many wineries in Tuscany and met many producers of the most renowned wines; and even the less famous ones, but just as excellent.From here my passion for history has joined that of food, so I started planning in the first historical and food tours.

The next step, for me natural, was to get the tourist guide enabled; the dream was realized in July 2018, after a whole year of intensive study and great sacrifices.

Now is the time to put my twelve years of experience to good use to build my new life and activities in Florence; the city that is an open-air museum.

Here I am, always hungry for success and good food!

Each guide will tell you Florence in its own way, each of us is different and unique.Do you want to know my Florence? It will be an honour for me to have you my guest.

I'm looking forward meeting you here!

Hello, Chiara!
