Lake Maggiore Tourist Guide
I worked for many years as a Communication and Events Manager before changing my life and becoming a Tourist guide...and soon a Tour leader too!
I was born in the fashion city of Milan but I've spent half of my life abroad: England, France, Germany. In any of these places, nevertheless, I've ever felt ''at home'' as on Lake Maggiore. That's why I've decided to become a Tourist Guide, to pay back somehow my adoption region. I hope to transfer to my Italian or foreign travellers the same love and respect I feel towards this enchanting land, so rich of beauty, art, culture, nature and spirituality.
I organise non-conventional tourist itineraries and taylor-made excursions such as: war and peace on Lake Maggiore, Garden Tours, the Walsers: forgotten people of our mountains, baroque treasures, Wine tasting and much...much more!
